Description |
English: The bezel and hoop of this gold ring seem to have been case in one pin-shaped piece, the hoop being subsequently bent square, and the end attached to the bezel. The design on the lentoid bezel is chased (and partly gouged out). It shows a cow in a boat passing through a papyrus thicket (the stalks and flowers of which appear above the back of the cow). The scene undoubtedly represents the well known story of the cow goddess, Hathor, welcoming the dead in the western marshes. |
