Neith

Since ancient times Neith was a war goddess who became one of the four goddesses protecting the dead with Isis, Nephthys and Serket. In amulets she was represented by her emblem (see slides #101,102) or as a striding woman with the red crown overhead. Amulets of Neith are mostly in faience, lapis lazuli and gold¹. They were always placed on the chest of mummies since Dynasty 26 onwards¹
