Title	Har-wodj
Description	Polystone replica of an Egyptian statuette, ca. 663-332 BCE; 9.5 x 3 x 5 in. The hieroglyphics at the front of this statuette tell us why it was orginally made. It was an offering to the god Ptah-Soker-Osiris (patron of architects, artists, and sculptors) and the goddess Hathor (goddess of joy, motherhood, and love) from Har-wodj, a priest of Neith (the goddess of the hunt). See VF 075 for more information about the three Egyptian gods related to this statuette.
