The starting point of this study lies in an offering scene replicated, with only some variations, on eleven Egyptian bronze mirrors dated to the 7th and 6th cent. This scene, located in the frame of a temple façade whose shape is typical of the Egyptian naïskoi, shows a female character presenting a mirror to the goddess Mut. The whole of the décor and the theme of the mirror offering itself are closely related to the hathoric cult and to its flourishing from the New Kingdom onward. This paper proposes to explore the perspectives opened up by this iconography. They lead us to reflect on the incidences of the hathoric cults in the Mediterranean and to understand how the pattern of the naïskos reached different artistic traditions far beyond the Nile valley.
