| Papyrus Painting of Queen Nefertari (as Isis) and Winged Goddess Maat.
Isis was depicted as a woman with the solar disk between the cow horns on her head (an analogy with the goddess Hathor) or crowned with a thrown, but also with the child Horus sitting on her lap. A vulture was sometimes seen incorporated in her crown. Also she was sometimes depicted as a kite above the mummified body of Osiris. Isis' popularity lasted far into the Roman era. She had her own priests and many temples were erected in her honor. On the island of Philae in the Nile delta her largest temple was situated (it was transferred to the island Agilkia in 1975-1980).
Ma'at (Maat) an Egyptian goddess who personified the concepts of truth, cosmic order and justice. The Pharaoh Kings portrayed themselves constantly as "Beloved of Ma'at" and upholders of the universal order. Judges in both human and divine spheres were known as representatives of Ma'at. Ma'at was usually depicted as a woman wearing a large ostrich feather in her headband. This Feather formed the Hieroglyph of her name and could be used by itself as an abstract representation of the goddess.
