Neith statuette

Standing figure of Neith. The goddess wears a red crown with a hole at the top, probably for the now-missing lituus. The goddess holds her arms alongside her body, with her palms pressed onto the thighs. The lower part of the legs is missing. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for hollow casts.
