Summary

Description
English: Others show a pole supporting the head and wig, as in no. 2, where the pole is on a flat stand, and in no. 8, between two trees. Others have a wig of straight hair, as nos. 3, 4, and 7. Some fragments have the name of Hatshepsut, as no. 5; and some, with the name of Tahutmes III, show part of the pole, and therefore have belonged to such heads of Hathor, see nos. 10 and 1 1. The form of the top of the head-dress varies, but it is generally a rough copy of the cornice of uraeus serpents, which was the regular architectural finish of the shrine or house of Horus on the head. The prominence of a definite pole here suggests that these are copies of some great mask of Hathor upon a pole, which was set up at the festivals.
