Temple of Hathor, Dendera: Hathor Columns and Ceiling

Inside the front hall at Dendera, each column ends in four faces of Hathor, shaped like the sistrum rattle used in her worship. Above them, the ceiling has been cleaned of centuries of black soot to reveal blue and gold astronomical scenes, including the sky goddess Nut and the signs of the zodiac. Many of the Hathor faces were hacked away in later centuries, so look for the ones that survive.
