In this serene New Kingdom relief from the tomb of Seti I (KV17), the goddess Hathor extends her hand and offers a protective menat necklace, guiding the pharaoh into the afterlife. Rendered in the Slow Art format, the scene unfolds with gentle grace, Hathor’s calm presence and Seti’s reverent posture invite quiet reflection. The soft contours and delicate colors temper traditional Egyptian formality, creating a moment of divine welcome. This timeless encounter between mortal and deity offers a meditative glimpse into ancient beliefs about death, protection, and eternal harmony.
