Hathor was a major ancient Egyptian goddess of love, beauty, music, dancing, fertility, and pleasure. As a cosmic mother goddess, she was known as the "mistress of the sky," a protector of women, and the "Eye of Ra" (a protector of the sun god). She was often depicted as a cow, a woman with cow ears/horns, or a cow-headed woman.

A double ushabti is a rare ancient Egyptian funerary artifact consisting of two mummiform figures carved together from a single piece of stone or wood. Unlike standard single ushabtis meant to act as manual-labor servants in the afterlife, double ushabtis typically depict two close family members—such as a husband and wife, or a mother and her son—resting together for eternity. Benermerut was an ancient Egyptian official during the 18th Dynasty under Pharaoh Thutmose III, serving as overseer of the treasury, chancellor, and chief of the gold and silver houses.
