Egyptian goddess reproduction of Maat to your home decor and art collection

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.
