Product information "Sculpture 'Goddess Neith (original size)', gold-plated"
Even in pre-dynastic times, she was worshipped as the mother of the gods, creator and goddess of hunting and war. During the 18th dynasty, she became the protector of women and finally, in the late period, the patroness of domestic skills, and her cult symbol worn on her head - a shield and crossed arrows - was reinterpreted as a weaver's shuttle. The Greeks, fascinated by Egyptian culture, equated her with their Athena. Original: Egyptian Museum, Cairo, Treasure of Tutankhamun. Egypt, New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, around 1335 B.C.
