介绍（中）	这位女神把太阳盘和角戴在莫迪厄斯的顶上。在右下角可以看到她手掌向外凸起的弯曲轮廓。虽然哈托尔和伊西斯都戴着王冠，但哈托尔是新王国寺庙中更常见的女神在很早的时候，哈托尔被认为是第一位皇家神荷鲁斯的母亲，后来又与皇家神Re联系在一起，成为母亲、妻子和女儿。在埃及历史上，她与埃及王权的概念紧密相连，出现在无数支持、护送或接待国王的寺庙场景中。在这幅浮雕中，哈托尔举起的手表明她像配偶或父母一样，支持地站在另一位神或国王身后人们早就注意到，女神的特征类似于法老塞提二世统治时期的浮雕图像。事实上，高高的头骨、突出的下巴和方方正正的嘴唇出现在他的照片中。有人认为，这种浮雕代表了他的王后塔沃斯雷特，她在几年后短暂地继承了他的女国王地位，但盘角王冠和保守的假发相结合，说明这是女神的形象。
介绍（英）	This goddess wears the sun disk and horns on top of a modius. At the lower right corner may be seen the curved contour of her hand which is raised palm outward. Although the crown is worn by both Hathor and Isis, Hathor is the goddess more frequently depicted in New Kingdom temples. In very early times Hathor was regarded as the mother of Horus, the first royal god, and then later was connected with the royal god Re as mother, wife, and daughter. Integrally bound with the notion of Egyptian kingship throughout its history, she appears in innumerable temple scenes supporting, escorting or receiving the king. In this relief Hathor’s raised hand indicates she stood supportively , like a spouse or parent, behind another god or the king. It has long been noted that the goddess’s features resemble relief images from the reign of the pharaoh Seti II. Indeed, the high cranium, prominent chin, and squared off lips appear in his images. It has been suggested this relief represented his queen Tawosret, who after a few years briefly succeeded him as female king, but at the disk and horns crown and the conservative wig in combination speak for this being the image of a goddess.
