Hathor  Staff  Finial

 

            This magnificent artifact is made of bronze. It was used during the later period around 712-332 B.C. The staff finial would usually be on the top of a staff. A priest would be the only one to use this particular staff. Hathor is the goddess this staff honors. There may have been jewels in the finial.
