Abstract

This paper studies a remarkable iconography belonging to Herihor as a king. The scene is located on the eastern inner wall of the court of the temple of Khonsu at Karnak. The iconography, with a preliminary characterization and translation of the accompanying texts, has been published previously but still offers possibilities for additional analysis. The contents offer more novel queries; among which one concerns Herihor`s relationship with Hathor of Dendera, based on the iconographic detail representing the king receiving his regal epithets incised inside cartouches. The study examines the relationship between the king and the goddess, and includes a discussion of the titles included only in the Hb-sd symbol surmounted by the crown of Upper Egypt. Throughout the interpretation of the symbolism expressed by the scene, the Study, arrives at the conclusions of an approximated geographical boundary; that Herihor, as a king, exerted control at least as far north as the region of  Iwnt     (Dendera).
