介绍（中）	奈斯是一位有着许多不同方面的强大女神，但最为人所知的可能是公元前一千年，她是三角洲强大城市赛斯的女神。在铜合金中，她以拟人化的形式出现。她戴着红色王冠，也被称为下埃及王冠，以及许多女神常见的合身的长礼服。她的手臂姿势表明，她伸出的一只手可能拿着权杖，另一只手上可能拿着脚链。有时在更精致的人物身上，她的王冠是条纹的，通常镶嵌有贵金属，如26.7.846所示。这尊雕像矗立在一个小底座上，底座上有铭文，现在已经难以辨认尽管奈斯从埃及历史开始一直受到崇拜，但她的崇拜在第26王朝变得非常突出，当时她的崇拜中心赛斯成为了赛特王朝国王的首都。这位女神的许多小雕像证明了她在第26王朝及其后的奉献精神中的受欢迎程度。
介绍（英）	Neith was a powerful goddess with many different aspects, but was perhaps best known in the first millennium BC as the goddess of the powerful city of Sais in the Delta. In copper alloy she is represented in anthropomorphic form. She wears the red crown, otherwise known as the Lower Egyptian crown, and the long form-fitting dress common to many goddesses. Her arm position suggests that she may have held a scepter in her outstretched hand and perhaps an ankh sign in the other. Sometimes on more elaborate figures, her crown is striped, usually with precious metal inlay, as seen on 26.7.846. This figure stands on a small plinth that had an inscription, which is now illegible. Although Neith was worshipped from the beginning of Egyptian history to the end, her cult grew to great prominence in the 26th dynasty, when her cult center Sais became the capital of the Saite dynasty kings. The many statuettes of this goddess attest to her popularity as a dedication in the 26th dynasty and later.
