Dendara, Governorate Qena Hathor Temple Late Period, XXX Dynasty (380-343 BC) Ŧ Nectanebo I (380-362 BC) |
Comments: This
relief of god Bes was one of the several which for- med rectangular pillars in the mammisi (birth house) of Nectanebo I. Notice rather unorthodox "full frontal" representation of the deity. Ex- planation can be found in its late addition to the iconographic canon. |
