EDITORS COMMENTS
This fragment of a granite statue depicts the ancient Egyptian cow goddess Hathor nursing Pharaoh Horemheb during the New Kingdom's 18th Dynasty, around the 13th century BC. Hathor, one of Egypt's most revered deities, is represented as a divine bovine with the solar disk and cow horns adorning her head. In this unique portrayal, she is shown in an intimate moment with the pharaoh, who is depicted as a youthful and robust ruler. Hathor's nurturing role extends beyond the realm of motherhood, as she is also considered the goddess of love, music, and fertility. The fragmented statue reveals Hathor's protective and sustaining embrace as she nurses Horemheb, who is positioned on her lap with his arms around her neck. The pharaoh's royal headdress and false beard signify his regal status. The intricate details of the statue, such as the veil covering Hathor's head and the folds of her robes, demonstrate the exceptional craftsmanship of the ancient Egyptian artisans. The unusual depiction of Hathor nursing a pharaoh is a testament to the deep spiritual connection between the ruler and the gods in ancient Egyptian culture. This fragmented granite statue offers a glimpse into the religious and symbolic significance of motherhood, nourishment, and divine protection during the New Kingdom era.
