EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning polychrome relief depicts the goddess Hathor, the ancient Egyptian deity of love, music, and fertility, embracing the young prince Amenkhopshef, son of Ramses III, in the burial chamber of his tomb in the Valley of the Queens. The Twentieth Dynasty tomb, renowned for its vibrant and intricate decorations, showcases Hathor in her divine form, adorned with a solar disc and cow's horns on her headdress, and holding a scepter and an offering table. The prince, dressed in a khepresh crown and hieroglyphic cartridges, is shown in a peaceful and protective embrace, symbolizing the goddess's nurturing and protective role. The hieratic script inscriptions on the wall further enhance the mythological significance of the scene, as Hathor was believed to be the mother of the pharaoh and the protector of the royal family. The use of perspective and the rich, blue tones add depth and dimension to the relief, making it a captivating example of ancient Egyptian art and religious iconography.
