The Egyptian Papyrus with MAAT the goddess of Law & Justice The Egyptian goddess Maat, whose name means "that which is straight," was the daughter of Ra and the wife of the god, Thoth, of writing and learning. When someone died, he was taken to the Hall of Maat, where his heart was weighed on a balance scale with feather of Maat. If the heart is lighter than the feather of the goddess of justice, Maat, they are allowed to enter. If not, their soul is devoured by a beast. The Egyptian Papyrus is made by slicing thin strips of River Nile reeds and laying them criss-cross. They are then soaked in water and dried under weight. The result makes a very durable paper, which has been used since ancient times. The papyrus painting measures aproximately 9" X 13." It is painted in Gouache watercolor. |
