This limestone sculpture of goddess Hathor was created in the 18th Dynasty, about 1400 BC from Thebes in the Mortuary temple of Amenhotep III.

This female figure wears a particular form of a three-part wig, which shows that she is a goddess. We know that she is Hathor, although her name is not found on this fragment. Egyptologists found the inscribed lower section at the mortuary temple of Merenptah. The figure was once part of a larger group, sitting to the left of King Amenhotep III, with the god Osiris on his right.
