Gold finger ring depicting Hathor as a cow

The oval bezel of this gold ring is incised with the image of the goddess Hathor as a cow, wearing the menat-neckace, standing in a papyrus skiff-boat. Over her back is a palm or papyrus stalk; the engraving is very faint. The scene is surmounted by a boundary line, possibly representing the hieroglyph for "sky".

This ring belonged to Meryt, the wife of Kha, a foreman for the workmen of Deir el-Medina during the mid-Eighteenth Dynasty. She died aged around 30, and seemingly unexpectedly as she was buried in a coffin intended for her husband. The ring is one of two that seem to have been forgotten during the mummification and wrapping process, and added at the last minute by tucking them into the back of her stitched shroud. This ring was found in the mid-2000s during conservation work, stuck to the resin at the back of her cartonnage mask.
