Breasted -- 1. Leiden, Rijksmuseum van Oudheden (Pl. 61a). This may be the goddess sh.t nb.t hb, if the three reed leaves in her hair are being properly interpreted. As goddess of fishing and bird hunting, it is not surprising to find her holding a bird by the wings in her right hand; the left hand obviously held something, either another bird or a fish. In any case she is here represented in the attitude of an offering bearer, and wears a long white skirt. 86 Provenance unknown. Formerly in Von Bissing Collection. Height: 32 cm.
