Relief of the Goddess Mut
Description
Object Label: Before the end of the New Kingdom almost all images of female figures wearing the Double Crown of Upper and Lower Egypt were depictions of the goddess Mut, here labeled "Lady of Heaven, Mistress of All the Gods." The goddess's facial features mark this as a work made sometime between late Dynasty XVIII and relatively early in the reign of Ramesses II (circa 1279-1213 B.C.). For more information on the goddess Mut and her temples, see the installations in Temples, Tombs, and the Egyptian Universe. Caption: Relief of the Goddess Mut, ca. 1336–1213 B.C.E.. Granite, 18 7/8 × 9 13/16 × 3 3/8 in. (48 × 25 × 8.5 cm). Brooklyn Museum, Charles Edwin Wilbour Fund, 79.120. (Photo: Brooklyn Museum)

A fragment of an ancient Egyptian stone slab with hieroglyphic inscriptions.
This artifact is a piece of a stone slab, likely part of a larger monument or tomb decoration. The surface is carved with hieroglyphic characters that include both symbolic and phonetic elements. The style of the carvings is consistent with traditional Egyptian inscriptions, with well-defined lines and proportions. The stone has a rough texture due to its age, and the hieroglyphs are partially eroded.
