This is the rating and price for Published Egyptian Panel - Goddess Consort, Hieroglyphs, 1992

Description : Ancient Egypt, late Third Intermediate to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 760 to 30 BCE. A stunning sandstone panel presenting 3 fragmentary columns of inscribed hieroglyphs as well as a left-facing female figure, perhaps a goddess consort like Mut or Amenet or a clerical role call the Divine Adoratrice. The woman presents with a partial right arm extended as well as wearing a sheath dress and a large wesekh pectoral collar around her neck. Her headdress takes the form of a vulture with wings draped behind her ears, lappets draped to her breasts, and a partial pair of ostrich feather plumes on top, suggesting her role as a Divine Adoratrice of Amun. The role of Divine Adoratrice was one of power and prestige, myriad temple duties, and lifelong celibacy, however her influence over much of the Egyptian political landscape was undeniable. Her primary charge was to oversee the transfer of power from one pharaoh to the next, typically as his daughter, and was also a manager of his consorts.
