Description: | Stone amulet head of Hathor. Hathor had more cult centres than any other Egyptian goddess. She was also regarded as the divine mother of each reigning king. She was primarily a nurturing goddess but in her vengeful aspect could take the form of Sekhmet. In her funerary aspect she was known as 'Lady of the West'. Purchased by Wellcome at auction in 1919. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Rights holder: | University of Swansea, Egypt Centre | Subjects: | [none] | Source: | Egypt Centre | Identifier: | http://www.egyptcentre.org.uk/index.asp?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
