Known as the Lady of Archontiko, this wife of a Bottiaean ruler served as high priestess and the incarnation and mediator of divine blessings for her community northwest of Pella. Her grave (No. 458) was excavated in the elite section of the western cemetery of ancient Archontiko in the same burial cluster as some of the warriors of the community.
