Standing man holding statuette of Nebethetepet or Nehemetaui
Unknown Artist
This small figure depicts a man in a wrapped fringed garment, and whose shaven skull could indicate he is a priest. He carries a figure of a goddess. The goddess's headdress is the sound box of a sistrum indicating she is either Nebethetepet - an aspect of Hathor - or the goddess Nehemetaui, the spouse of Thoth.
