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

Neith was a female creator deity and goddess of war and the hunt. She normally wears the red crown of Lower Egypt, where her cult was centered, and a bead collar, armlets, and bracelets are engraved. Neith is depicted walking, with her left arm extended, free from her body. Both hands of the figure once held attributes; part of an ankh remains in her left hand.
