Terracotta figurines have been produced and widely used throughout the long period of Graeco-Roman dominance over Egypt. They were made of fired Nile clay and display a wealth of motifs unparalleled in any other terracotta workshops from the ancient world.
Many of them represent both Egyptian and foreign deities who were particularly thought to offer personal protection and many of them were moreover closely connected with religious feasts - and this is the case of Athena-Neith. No wonder that some of them are also housed in several Czech museums and private collections.
