This concerns the most common mended image of the goddess with Horus on her lap, placed to the left breact to feed (Isis lactans). Horus, with the youth cloth on the right, always appears in the same rather unnatural-selfish position, supported in the back by his mother, but ready to slide off her lap. The Sistrum instrument fragment (2nd left) Depicts an image of goddess Hathor on both sides, recognized by her cow ears and her curly wig. Above, she wears a small chapel (naos) with a cobra-ureus frieze on which a cat (bastet) is sat. Ptolemic Era.
