The direct inspiration for Hathor was Theresa Mather's charming "Hathor". Hathor is a love goddess, sometimes called "the hand of the god". In Egyptian art she is generally depicted as a round-faced woman with cow's ears, or as a woman with the moon between cow horns on her head, or as a similarly-attired cow. She's very seldom shown as a cow-headed woman, so we're taking some liberties with this representation.
Hathor is goddess of childbirth, and she nurtures and protects children as in legends she nurtured and protected Horus. There is a famous relief of the pharaoh Hatshepsut suckling on Hathor's udder. The moon falls within her power, too.

Stuffe & Nonsense Stuffemal plush dolls and animal character figures are original soft sculpture designs, individually hand crafted in California by the Stuffe Staff. While we do have some stuffemals on hand, we usually make them on order, so delivery time for your plush doll will be two to eight weeks. Construction and material details vary depending on our design goals for the character involved and the materials on hand. The plush figures are constructed of mohair, wool, alpaca or high-quality synthetic faux fur. Clothing and costume are also hand-made by Stuffe & Nonsense; jewelry and props are from diverse sources. Stuffe & Nonsense Stuffemals often use glass eyes or small parts and are not suitable for young children.
