Mut Standing
A goddess, likely Mut, stands with her left foot slightly advanced. She holds her arms down at her sides, hands clenched. Although her crown is currently only the red crown of Lower Egypt, she once also had the white crown of Upper Egypt and a vulture at her forehead. Her eyes were inlaid with gold and enamel.
