The Global Egyptian Museum

This is a very small amulet, finely manufactured, representing the head of the goddess Hathor. The representation of this deity is rather schematic, with green-coloured incisions on a pale yellow background. The face stands out in a slight relief; the lower part of the relief is suggestive of the mouth whereas the eyes and nose are indicated by a straight line that forms two triangles divided by a horizontal line. The headdress is surmounted by the suspension hole of the amulet. At the top, two vertical incisions go down the back of the piece.

Voici une très petite amulette, de facture assez délicate, représentant la tête de la déesse Hathor. La représentation de la divinité est relativement schématisée par des incisions de couleur verte sur fond jaune pâle. Le visage se découpe très légèrement en relief, la bouche étant suggérée par la partie inférieure du relief, les yeux et le nez étant simplement marqués par un trait continu, formant deux triangles séparés par une horizontale. La coiffe est surmontée du trou de suspension de l'amulette. Sur le sommet, deux incisions verticales redescendent sur l'arrière de la pièce.
