Neith suckling two crocodiles

Neith suckling two crocodiles. Dimensions: h. 4 cm (1 9/16 in.). Date: 664-30 B.C.. Neith was a great creator goddess, and was not linked with any partner except primarily her son Tutu. She was also closely associated with crocodiles: Sobek was considered her son and at Esna she had a second crocodile son Shemanefer. Small amulets like this one where she nurses two crocodiles may represent her as a creator goddess where the crocodiles represent the sun and the moon, or the animals may refer to her two crocodile sons Sobek and Shemanefer.
