Dendara, Governorate Qena Hathor Temple: Pronaos Roman (30 BC-395 AD) Ŧ Tiberius (14-37 AD) & later |
Comments: In this temple the skies are not supported by plant columns but by monumental Hathor sistra, rattles used in the cult of the goddess. The architecture thus becomes a visible and immediate symbol of cult music in honour of Hathor. |
