Ma’at - Egyptian Goddess of Truth, Justice and Balance

Ma’at was depicted as a woman with an ostrich feather on her head.

Maat was the daughter of Ra and the wife of Thoth. She weighed the heart of those who died against her feather to decide who would travel to the afterlife. She is depicted as a woman with an ostrich feather on her head, sometimes winged. Sometimes she was pictured as an ostrich feather.

Can you find a hieroglyph in the shape of the feather of Ma’at in the photo below?
