Description : **Originally Listed At $2000** Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th Dynasty, ca. 664 to 525 BCE. A mold-formed pottery funerary pectoral in the shape of a pylon - the door or gateway into a temple. Covered in white pigment, the cornice-shaped overhang is decorated with vertical black and red stripes and is supported by a pair of border columns. Shown in low relief across the obverse is a pillar with the face of Hathor - goddess of love, music, beauty, and fertility - who bears outstretched ears, ovoid eyes, and intricately plaited bangs with spiraling tips, all beneath a squat crown flanked by a pair of horns. Two uraeus cobras wearing sun discs peer outward on the sides of Hathor's head, and the entire portraiture is bordered by 2 papyrus staffs with umbels surmounted by a cat, perhaps representing the cat goddess Bastet.
