Sirius
Goddess also known as Sopdet Depdet Sothis
Sirius personified the 'dog star' Sirius. This star was the most
important of the stars to the ancient Egyptians, and the heliacal
rising of this star came at the time of inundation and the start of
the Egyptian New Year.
She was represented as a woman with a star on top of her headdress.
or as a seated cow with a plant between her horns (just as Seshat's
hieroglyph might have been a flower or a star) as depicted on an ivory
tablet of King Djer.
