## Image Caption

The Governor of Upper [Egypt](https://www.worldhistory.org/egypt/) dedicated this bowl to the goddess [Hathor](https://www.worldhistory.org/Hathor/) and Mut, both named in the inscriptions. The front displays Hathor's face. The bowl was presented by the kneeling figure of Montuemhat, but only traces of his hands survives. The bowl probably stood in the [temple](https://www.worldhistory.org/temple/) of Mut in South [Karnak](https://www.worldhistory.org/Karnak/). Montuemhat left statues in that temple, as a chapel that features him and King Taharqo (Taharko), his original Kushite overlord. Early 26th Dynasty, reign of Psamtek (Psamtik) I, circa 650 BCE. From [Thebes](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Thebes/), probably from South Karnak, temple of Mut, Egypt. (The British Museum, London).
