Winged Maat Relief | |
|
Tomb of Nefertari,
Luxor. Egypt. Dynasty
XIX, 1270 B.C.
This relief shows the
Goddess Maat kneeling
with her wings
extended in a pose of
protection or paying
homage. Maat is the
Goddess of Truth and
Justice who
personifies cosmic
order and harmony as
established by the
Creator God at the
beginning of time.
Her symbol is 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 embodies.
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.
