Amulet van rood kornalijn, dat de fetisj van de godin Neith voorstelt, twee samengebonden bogen. Dergelijke amuletten komen voor vanaf de 26e dynastie. Neith was een van de vier godinnen die de overledene beschermden en haar amulet zou de dode speciale bescherming geven. Ook zou hij worden verbonden met de kracht in de strijd en de oude traditie die met haar werden geassocieerd.
Amulette en cornaline rouge représentant deux arcs attachés ensemble, attributs de la déesse Neith. Les amulettes de ce type ne sont apparues qu'à partir de la XXVIème Dynastie. Neith était l'une des quatre déesses protectrices des morts; aussi son amulette conférait-elle une protection particulière au défunt tout en le reliant aux pouvoirs guerriers et aux anciennes traditions associés à la divinité.
