Female Anthropomorphic Egyptian Gods
A minor goddess known mainly as the consort of the serpent deity Nehebu-Kau or of Thoth. Nehemtawy usually appears in anthropomorphic form and was frequently depicted in the shape of a goddess nursing an infant on her lap. In representations of this type she can usually only be distinguished from other nursing goddesses such as Isis and Mut by her headdress which is usually in the form of a sistrum. Little is known of the worship of the goddess other than that she was venerated with Thoth in his cult centers, especially that of
Hermopolis in Middle Egypt.
