Description: Goddess Ma'at (or Maat) of Ancient Egypt - partly restored and partly re-constructed image of a wall-painting. This image is used in my website https://sites.google.com/site/yalaorg/others/sumerians

- Original image from https://egypt-museum.com/post/163481303196/relief-of-maat - Painted wall-relief at Tomb of Siptah (KV47) [New Kingdom, 19th Dynasty, reign of Siptah, ca. 1197-1191 BC] Valley of the Kings, West Thebes.

The original image has been covered over due to the extensive repair-work needed. For the repair, I tried to use whatever portions of the image was still intact, borrowing bits and pieces to copy-&-paste but a lot had to re-drawn. The wing-scales under her arms, her sarong and the boat had to be re-made from scratch as it was too badly damaged. When fixing the broken wing, a rotated copy of the other wing didn't actually fit. Some creative liberties had to be taken eg. re-imaging her hair. For the wall behind her, I just made stucco... but I pasted back the relevant symbols.
