Dendara,
Governorate Qena Hathor Temple: Pronaos façade Roman (30 BC-395 AD) ŦŦ Tiberius (14-37 AD) & Nero (54-68 AD) |
Comments: As the pylon was not completed, the main front is formed by the pronaos, which should actually have been the back wall of the temple court. The column form, with its Hathor capitals, is a direct reference to the divinity to whom the shrine is dedicated. |
