Small Maat Statue | |
|
The Goddess Maat is
the personification
of all the elements
of cosmic harmony as
established by the
Creator-God at the
beginning of time-
including truth,
justice, law, world
order and moral
integrity. Maat is
shown as a lady
wearing on her head
an ostrich feather.
The seated image of
Maat was held in
pharaoh’s hand like a
doll and was
presented as an
offering to the Gods.
This meant that the
king was the
representative of
divine order since
Maat was seen as
legitimizing their
authority to govern
and to uphold the
laws of the universe
which she embodied.
Judges were regarded
as priests of Maat.
In the hall of
judgement at the
weighing of the heart
the heart of the
deceased was placed
on the scales of
justice balanced
against the feather
of Maat, symbol of
justice. Here, Maat
stands carrying the
ankh in one hand and
the “waas” scepter in
the other.
