Inlay of a squatting goddess, probably Hathor
Late Period–Ptolemaic Period
This inlay represents a small crouching female goddess. She wears the vulture headdress associated by this time with great mother goddesses, topped by a modius of uraei and a disk, all broken away. She originally held a scepter in the fist on her knee. The king Nectanebo II incorporated into his royal names epithets relating him to the goddess Hathor.
