Neith Seated
Neith is seated on a low-backed throne with engraved sides. One side shows Neith standing while holding a was-scepter and ankh facing a female worshipper. The other side shows Neith standing facing a male worshipper. On the back of the throne is a soaring falcon with a sun disc on the head holding a ring in the talons and fans in the outstretched wings. Neith has an engraved bead collar and armlets. She wears the red crown of Lower Egypt, which had inserted uraei, and once held attributes in her hands that are lost.
