Authentic Reproductions of Ancient Egyptian Art by Natalie Watson
About the Artwork
Reproduction of a wall painting of the winged goddess Maat from the Tomb of Siptah (KV47), dating to c. 1197–1191 BC (Dynasty 19). Maat, the goddess of truth, balance, and cosmic order, kneels atop a basket, her wings outstretched in divine protection. Between them, the royal cartouches of Pharaoh Siptah are accompanied by the shen symbol, representing eternity and infinite protection. This artwork reflects the deep significance of Maat in ancient Egyptian belief—where she was essential for maintaining harmony in both the cosmos and the afterlife.
