Upper Part of a of Woman from a Pair Statue ca. 1295–1070 (?)

Much of the upper portion of a rounded rectangular back pillar inscribed with a classic hetep di nesu formula survives. In the inscription, Re-Horakhty and Hathor are the deities being revered, but the break in the pillar is just after the words "for the ka of" s
