Summary
DescriptionHathor, mistress of the west.svg |
English: Hathor, wearing the hieroglyph for 'west' as a headdress. In this form she is identified as the mistress of the west, the land of the deceased. The iconography in this form is that of the goddess Imentet, a personification of necropolis of the west, but rather than being an independent deity Imentet appears to be no more than a manifestation of Hathor or Isis.[1] |
