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 formed rectangular pillars in the mammisi (birth house) of Nectanebo I. Notice rather unorthodox "full frontal" representation of the deity. Explanation can be found in its late addition to the iconographic canon. |
