Exterior of the Temple of Hathor and Nefertari (detail)
Detail of the façade of the rock temple dedicated to Hathor and Nefertari at Abu Simbel. The upper part of the colossus depicting Nefertari to the right of the entrance door is visible. The queen wears the Hathoric crown (with bovine horns and a sun disk surmounted by two tall feathers) and in her left hand, worn on her chest, she clutches a sistrum with a Hathoric head. The lintel and the sloping buttresses separating the colossi bear hieroglyphic inscriptions with the royal titles of the sovereigns.
