Plaster head of Hathor
Hathor, head, part. This plaster head was probably used as a model. Hathor appears both as a cow and as a cow-headed human. Her face was used on a type of column within chapels and temples dedicated to her. Hathor, like Isis, was associated with the mother of the King of Egypt.
