Hathor was often depicted as a cow, symbolizing her maternal and celestial aspect, although her most common form was a woman wearing a headdress of cow horns and a sun disk. She could also be represented as a lioness, cobra, or sycamore tree.

Why did Hathor need the bracelet?

Once known as the Mistress of the West, Hathor was responsible for guiding souls to the Afterlife. Hathor wears the Bracelet of Forty-Two Stars to keep the demons of the dark realm of chaos from pursuing her.

What was hathors color?

Hathor is often artistically expressed with gold with red. It was a showing of affection and self sacrifice of her importance to those who worshiped her as many prayed for love, joy, and motherhood. The use of the color red really allows the gold to pop and was also a very important color in Egyptian social status.
