Dendera, Roman period mammisi temple, exterior wall scene, detail of Trajan's kilt

Detail of relief-carved scene (depicting the emperor Trajan, the goddess Hathor, and the god Horus) from the exterior of the Roman period mammisi ("birth house") temple at Dendera.

This photo features Trajan's kilt, which is decorated with a scene showing the pharaoh (the cartouches above him have hieroglyphs spelling out the title "pharaoh" rather than a name) smiting enemies, which are also being attacked by his pet lion (right) and pet dog (or lion) (left).

Pictured here we are on the exterior walls of Hathors Temple at the Dendera Temple Complex. This individual is wearing the most decorative Shendyt "male skirt" I have ever seen throughout Egypt. It is also the only reference to a Griffin I have found anywhere in Egypt. It depicts the Griffin trampling a group of men. The Griffin was a Mythological beast that was said to be a perfect combination of eagle and lion. This part of the construction dates to the Ptolemaic period under Greek control, which helps explain the Griffin relief. I'm also unaware of this style of crown, it resembles an Atef Crown most to me, but still not an exact match. Last but not least, I had never noticed until I started to post today, what is the line that protrudes from the buttocks area? It hangs almost to the heels of the figure. Tassels? Rope? Excess belt? You can almost imagine it looking like a tail if you're imaginative enough. What all do you think is being portrayed here? Mythological creatures, unknown head dress, musical instruments, and something hanging from the rear that protrudes from a bump near his buttocks? Is anyone familiar with the name of the person shown here?

Coffin set belonging to the temple singer Tamutnofret, composed of an outer coffin, an inner coffin and a "mummy-cover", a full-length death mask that was placed over the mummy. The origin of the set is a now unknown grave in Thebes. It can be dated back to the reign of Ramses II (approx. 1279-1213 BCE).
