Best Answer

Maat, or Ma'at was the personification of the fundamental order of the universe, without which all of creation would perish. On Heiroglyphs it would appear as a woman wearing a crown on top of a huge ostrich feather. Her totem was a stone platform representing the stable base on which order is built.

Pharoahs were tasked with upholding this principle by enforcing the law.
