Maat
Description
<p>The amulet made of a bright blue glass-like faience (?) was made in a mold with some later working. It represents Maat, the personification of Truth, as a woman seated with knees drawn up. There is a hold in the head to attach an ostrich feather, the hieroglyph for her name. A loop projects from the back of her head for suspension.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/42.426' rel='external'>Maat</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
