This print showcases a remarkable fragment of a granite statue from the Egyptian New Kingdom, Dynasty XVIII. The intricate relief depicts the ancient goddess Hathor in her iconic form as a cow, tenderly suckling the pharaoh Horemheb.

Every curve and line on the granite surface tells a story of ancient Egyptian culture and history. The vertical composition allows us to appreciate every aspect of this single object, capturing its grandeur and significance. As we delve into this image, we are transported back in time to an era where art served as both an expression of devotion and a political statement.
