Relief of a Woman in a Blue Dress

2760

Crafted during the New Kingdom, Ramesside Period (19th–20th Dynasties, ca. 1292–1070 BCE).

Created for an elite tomb chapel or temple wall program, serving a dual religious and commemorative function: to immortalize the woman's participation in divine musical rituals and to ensure her eternal rejuvenation and protection under the goddess Hathor.
