On a [[:File:Stele of Qadesh upper-frame.jpg|stele]] representing the deity, Qetesh is depicted as a frontal nude (an uncommon motif in Egyptian art, though not exclusively associated with her), wearing a [[Hathor]] wig and standing on a lion, between [[Min (god)|Min]] and the Canaanite warrior god [[Resheph]]. She holds a snake in one hand and a bouquet of lotus or papyrus flowers in the other.<ref>Ch.
