Papyrus Painting: The Goddess Isis(Hathor) and Ma'at

 

 
Papyrus painting, Ma'at and Isis
Hathor and Isis are frequently merged because of their common characteristics. 

In art, originally Isis was pictured as a woman wearing a long sheath dress sometimes she was depicted as holding a lotus, or, as a Sycamore tree.

After her assimilation of many of the roles of Hathor, Isis's headdress is replaced with that of Hathor: the horns of a cow on her head, with the solar disk between them. Most often Isis is seen holding only the generic ankh sign and a simple staff,

Maat or Mayet, thought to have been pronounced as *Muʔʕat (Muh-aht), was the Ancient Egyptian concept of truth, balance, order, law, morality, and justice. Maat was also personified as a goddess regulating the stars, seasons, and the actions of both mortals and the deities, who set the order of the universe from chaos at the moment of creation  This scene is taken from Hathor's at Denderah,
