Seshat, Luxor Temple
Seshat was the goddess of the written word and the inventor of language in Egyptian mythology. She was the consort of Thoth and is often depicted wearing a leopard-skin and holding a palm stem in her head. Seshat is recognizable by the seven-pointed symbol topped by a crescent above her head.
