EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning full-length figurine represents the goddess Hathor-Mehit, a deity revered in ancient Egypt during the New Kingdom-Late Period (1569-333 BCE). The exact creator of this artwork remains unknown, but it is believed to have originated in Egypt around the 11th century BC. The figurine is made of faience, a type of ceramic material that was widely used in ancient Egypt for sculptures and pottery. The goddess is depicted in a standing position, wearing a distinctive headdress adorned with the horns of Hathor, the cow goddess. Her body is covered in a flowing dress, and she holds a scepter in one hand and an offering table in the other. The green color of the figurine is achieved through the use of tin glazes, which were commonly used in ancient Egyptian art. The close-up view of the image reveals the intricate details of the goddess's features, including her large, expressive eyes and the delicate lines of her headdress. This figurine of Hathor-Mehit is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is displayed as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of ancient Egypt. The goddess was an essential figure in the religious beliefs of the ancient Egyptians, representing love, music, and dance, and was often invoked for protection and fertility. The figurine's serene expression and elegant posture convey a sense of grace and beauty, making it a captivating work of art that continues to inspire awe and admiration to this day.
