A sandstone bas-relief with hieroglyphs, from the Ptolemaic period (332 - 30 BC). Dendera, Egypt. Restored. This object comes with a valuation report by Mr. H.J. Pragt, Egyptologist.
He writes: A relief piece from a Ptolemaic temple. The text speaks of a beautiful festival in honor of the divine Hathor (mother of Horus and Ra, and symbolic mother of their incarnate representatives, the Pharaohs. ed.). This suggests that the piece was once found at the temple of Hathor in Dendera.
