==Physical description== Mehet-Weret is depicted as either a cow-headed woman, a seated cow, or a cow carrying a child, often the golden disk of the sun is between her horns<ref name = Pinch163/> She appears on a golden bed found in the [[Tomb of Tutankhamun]], the sides of which are made from star-patterned cows labelled as Isis-Mehet.<ref name = Pinch163/> She is also featured twice on the [[sarcophagus]] of Khonsu, son of [[Sennedjem]], who was buried in tomb [[TT1]] during the [[Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt|Nineteenth Dynasty]].<ref name = HornungByran> Hornung, E. & Bryan, B. M. (2002) ''The quest for immortality: treasures of ancient Egypt'', Prestel Publishers. Pp. 152-53</ref> In both instances she appears as a seated cow with the sun between her horns. She is depicted dressed in a number of ritual items as a way to denote her divine standing; a [[Crook and flail|flail]] rises out of her back. In one image Khonsu is depicted bowing and adoring her, in the other a small Horus head lies in front of her on her dais.<ref>βMeht-Urt GreatFlood.β Accessed September 6, 2014. http://www.bibleorigins.net/Meht-urtGreatFlood.html.</ref><ref name = HornungByran/>
