Hathor, Museo Egizio

Basalt statue of the Ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor. From the New Kingdom, 18th dynasty (reign of Amenhotep III 1388-1351BC).

The statue was commissioned by Amenhotep III to celebrate his Sed Festival. Uniquely, in this depiction she holds a was-sceptre (not shown here), a symbol of power normally associated only with male gods. The statue was brought to Turin in 1753.

Hathor is the goddess of music, dancing, joy etc. and is often represented as a cow, hence the horns.

…. Lady of names in the Two Lands, Unique One, Lady of Terror among the Guardian-Gods, the Uraeus on the horns of Atum. The Gods come to You prostrating, the Goddesses come to You bowing Their heads. Your Father Ra adores You, His face rejoices in hearing Your Name. Thoth satisfies You with His glorifications, and He raises His arms to You, carrying the sistrum. The Gods rejoice for You when You appear. You illuminate the Two Lands with the rays of Your Eye. The South, the North, the West, and the East pay You homage, making adorations to You. Hathor, Lady of Iunet, Your beautiful face is pleased by the King of Upper and Lower Egypt.

Awake in peace! You, yourself beautifully wake in peace! Hwt-Hrw, Mistress of Iunet, Awake in life! The Neteru themselves raise to worship you each day, The venerable sky! For you are the one, the ball of the sun that pierces the sky, Flooding the country side with gold, who brings life in the east, Who then immerses the setting sun each night in Iunet. Awake, Hwt-Hrw, in peace! The Great Mistress of Iunet, Eye of Ra, Mistress of the sky, Queen of all the Neteru, the venerable and powerful one who takes Her place in the barge! You, yourself Awake in peace! Awake in peace the Mistress of Iunet, Queen of women, beautiful of face, Whose eyes are made-up, whose breasts shimmer, the Mistress of costume and beauty! You, yourself wake in peace! Awake in peace beautiful woman whose love is soft, the Mistress of the Menat, Queen of the Sistrum, your son - Ihy, the child - appeases you! You, yourself wake in peace!
