Short stairwell in the Temple of Hathor at Dendera, seen from the landing looking ahead into the crypt. At the bottom of this staircase, visible at the bottom of the photo, a few further steps lead left and right into the two corridors that make up the crypt. The soffit at the top is decorated with stars, and on the wall panel just below it, two images of Hathor flank the hieroglyph for "birth". The wall of the corridor shows the pharaoh and the god Shu.
