The ancient Egyptian Goddess Hathor sits beside the falcon-headed God Harakhti.

Harakhti; the Egyptian god of the morning sun, whose name means 'Horus of the Twin Horizons'. Harakhti (Harachte) is one of the many manifestations of Horus. He represents the union of Re and Horus as one deity - the sun at midday. Both thrones bear the symbol of the unification of the two lands - Upper and Lower Egypt. The Egyptian pharaoh was said to be born on the eastern horizon as Harakhti and to rule over the eastern and western horizon in that form. In Heliopolis he coalesced with Re and was worshipped as Re-Harakhti (Ra-Harakhti). He was depicted in the form of a falcon.

Hathor's protection was invoked over children and pregnant women. When a child was born in Egypt, seven Hathors (somewhat like European fairy godmothers) would appear to "speak with one mouth" and determine the child's fate.
