The Goddess Hathor — This bust comes from a triad statue that showed King Amenhotep III flanked by the god Osiris and the goddess Hathor. It is one of the numerous statues which adorned Amenhotep III's mortuary temple at Thebes. Some 150 years later, when the temple was destroyed by an earthquke, this and other statues were reused in the nearby mortuary temple of Merenptah. 18th Dynasty, reign of Amenhotep III, circa 1390-1352 BCE. From Western Thebes, mortuary temple of Merenptah, Egypt; originally from the nearby mortuary temple of Amenhotep III. (The British Museum, London).
