MAAT ALTAR STELE - Carved & Hand Painted Altar Stele / Tablet (Egyptian Goddess Ma'at)
THE GODDESS MA'AT (Maat) - Carved in solid maple wood.
Large altar stele carved in maple. 1 kg in weight, 37cm tall, 25 cm wide and 1.8 cm thick.
A detailed altar carving of the Egyptian goddess Ma'at or Maat (pronounced May-et), the embodiment of the universal concepts of truth, balance and harmony, an important foundation for esoteric practice, both within the temple and within daily life in general. This example is carved and hand-finished from maple. It is then sealed and hand painted in oil paints. Here I use burnt sienna and burnt umber which are both evocative to me of the piece. A final coat of matte varnish is then applied to protect the carving.
