Ancient Egyptian Goddess Hathor is a beautiful woman depicted with the body and horns of a cow. Hathor is called the 'Lady of Heaven' she is sometimes depicted as a cow, sometimes as a beautiful woman wearing a crown of cow's horns on either side of a solar disk. She rules joy, love, motherhood, sensuality and fertility. Sometimes watches over women giving birth. Mother and wife of Ra. Hathor is also a goddess of death and offers comfort to the newly dead as they pass into the after-world.

Thanks for the lovely picture and the lesson. I like ancient egypcian history very much with all their goods and goodesses. Is this in a garden in England?

Looking like that I hope she doesn't play hard to get! Seriously, you know how much I like Egyptian artefacts. I have a Hathor of my own on the mantlepiece.
