This bronze statuette represents the Goddess Neith wearing the crown of
Lower Egypt; probably of the Saite period. An excellent example of votive
bronzes, of which there is a considerable number in the collection. These
statuettes probably served as votive or propitiatory offerings; that is to
say, they were offered at shrines in gratitude for favors experienced or
in the hope of winning favors to come.
