Hathor, often depicted with cow-like attributes symbolizing motherhood, was the goddess of fertility and love. Her worship extended beyond Egypt, making her a patroness of foreign lands and minerals, particularly turquoise. She was believed to guide souls in the afterlife, and women aspired to be assimilated with her in the next world. The Greeks identified Hathor with Aphrodite, further linking her to love and beauty.
This pendant is not just a beautiful accessory, but a powerful symbol of protection, femininity, and divine love, perfect for those drawn to the wisdom of ancient Egyptian culture.
