Menat counterpoise, probably part of the aegis of a female deity. The upper surface is richly decorated, while the lower surface is plain. The upper section bears a tab with two pierced holes. Corresponding to the tab, on the lower section, is a suspension loop composed of two bands. The upper section depicts a goddess, though corrosion covers her head and likely an inscription above her. The goddess stands within a frame decorated with small notches, holding the ankh in her right hand and a sceptre in her left. She wears a full-length garment adorned with diagonal bands. Flanking this long section are two uraei crowned with solar discs. On the lower part of the counterpoise, oval in form, within a frame decorated with small notches, are two crouching deities with theriomorphic heads, depicted back to back. The deity on the left is crowned with a disc resting on the crescent moon, while the deity on the right is crowned with the solar disc. Two lotus flowers are incised at the sides of the deities. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
