The Tomb of Setnakht and Tausert
Maat embracing Ptah (the patron of builders) with her wings and offering him the breath of creation
Maat was represented holding the symbol of life in her right hand.
Maat embodied the elements of cosmic harmony created at the beginning of time : truth, justice, moral integrity, order and structure. Without Maat the world would fall into Chaos
