EWS-E-069SP-The Offering of Maat Relief with color details

Temple of Abydos, Egypt. Dynasty XIX, 1300 B.C.

Here, Pharaoh Seti I, (father of Ramses II) is seen offering to the
Gods the seated image of Maat, held in his hand like a doll. The
Goddess Maat is the personification of all the elements of cosmic
harmony as established by the Creator-God at the beginning of
time-including truth, justice, law, world order and moral integrity.
She is shown as a lady wearing on her head an ostrich feather. This
scene establishes the king as the representative of divine order
since Maat was seen legitimizing his authority to govern and to
uphold the laws of the universe which she embodies.
