Janet Baty - Egyptian Goddess
Category: Body Adornment.
The Eqyptian goddess, Nut, (noo-it) was known as a sky goddess, goddess of the heavens, or Great Mother of the sun disk, lunar disk and crescent.
Nut played a major part in the underworld. The dead wanted to retain her good favor, most likely so they could have plenty of air. Being in her good graces renewed their bodies and they were able to rise and travel with the sun-god daily.
Coffin covers often carried a painted portrait of Nut as a mark of her protection.
