Among the attendants at the judgment of one's soul were Thoth and Maat. Thoth is shown here as an ibis. He recorded the judgment of the deceased. Maat is shown here as a seated woman and was the incarnation of truth and cosmic order. Made of wood and bronze, this group has been attached to a rectangular base that is carved with ankh and sa signs to provide life and protection. It is not known what the function of the metal loop at the front of the base is.
