Maat
The Goddess Maat is the personification of all the elements of cosmic harmony--truth, justice, law, world order and moral integrity--as established by the Creator-God at the beginning of time. The seated image of Maat was held in a pharaoh's hand and presented as an offering to the Gods in order to prove his right to govern and uphold the laws of the universe which she embodied.
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. (This is why Maat is usually depicted holding an ostrich
feather.) If one's conscience was light enough to make their heart as light as the feather, the decreased was deemed
worthy to meet Osiris in the after life.

Dynasty XIX 1270 B.C. This scene shows the Goddess Maat kneeling with her wings extended in a pose of paying homage to the Goddess Hathor who is seated on a throne. 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 on her head. Hathor is the great Sky-Goddess often represented as a cow who became known as a universal Mother-Goddess. Hathor was the Goddess of joy and motherhood and the embodiment of all that is best in women. Hathor was also considered the Goddess of music, dance, light-hearted pleasure and love. She was considered the protectress of pregnant women and midwives. |
