Antique Egyptian Relief Plaque: "Goddess Hathor" Grand Tour Era (c.1780-1920s)

Antique Egyptian Relief Plaque: "Goddess Hathor" Grand Tour Era (c.1780-1920s)This antique Egyptian relief panel is something to behold. Mounted in a shadowbox or simply put on a stand, this Hathor stone relief panel will strut its stuff! The ancient Egyptian Goddess Hathor was one of forty two state Gods and Goddesses of Egypt, and one of the most popular and powerful. Hathor was Goddess of many things: love, beauty, music, dancing, fertility, pleasure, as well as the protector of women. This piece was made by local Egyptians

The image is based on the stucco and limestone bust of Queen Nefertiti

The plate is a robust 12" in diameter

and my other listed original Matulay art pieces were procured via auction from a private collection during the latter half of 2022

or as a rare wearable statement piece

most likely for an important gathering of people

She is adorned with a crown and jewelry

also known as a pharmacopoeia box or cabinet

this plate truly is an excellent piece of replica artwork and worthy of adding to any Ancient Egyptian collection

and line designs finished in orange

The ringing of the bell is said to be the first sound of creation: OM

all set beneath a head of perfectly curled wavy hair
