Hanging shrine-like terracottas often served as lanterns for nighttime lamp festivals of the syncretic Romano-Egyptian goddess Athena-Neith, as shown in this example by the large, possibly soot-stained, opening at the back. This object type is characteristic of the so-called 'Fayum terracottas', as large numbers of terracotta figurines were recovered from the Fayum Oasis. -
