mid 8th-mid 4th century BCE (Late Period)

Neith is seated on a low-backed throne attached to a rectangular base. Holes on the base indicate three smaller figures were originally part of the composition. Neith's eyes were inlaid in gold and glass, and she has an engraved bead collar and armlets. She wears the red crown of Lower Egypt and once held attributes that are lost.
