The Offering of Maat Relief | |
|
Temple of Abydos,
Egypt. Dynasty XIX,
1300 B.C.
Here, Pharaoh Seti I,
(father of Ramses II)
is seen offering to
the Gods the seated
image of Maat, held
in his hand like a
doll. 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. She is
shown as a lady
wearing on her head
an ostrich feather.
This scene
establishes the king
as the representative
of divine order since
Maat was seen
legitimizing his
authority to govern
and to uphold the
laws of the universe
which she embodies.
