==Depictions== [[Image:10 luxor museum - Mut - dated 19 dynasty c 1279 to 1213 BC.JPG|thumb|Nineteenth dynasty statue of Mut, part of a double statue, {{circa}} 1279β1213 BC, Luxor Museum|left]] In [[art]], Mut was pictured as a woman with the wings of a [[vulture]], holding an [[ankh]], wearing the united [[Crown (headgear)|crown]] of Upper and Lower Egypt and a dress of bright red or blue, with the [[feather]] of the goddess [[Ma'at]] at her feet. Alternatively, as a result of her assimilations, Mut is sometimes depicted as a [[cobra]], a [[cat]], a [[cow]], or as a [[lion]]ess as well as the vulture. [[File:Relief of the Goddess Mut, ca. 1336-1213 B.C.E., 79.120.jpg|right|thumbnail|Relief of the Goddess Mut, {{circa}} 1336β1213 BC, 79.120, [[Brooklyn Museum]]]] Before the end of the New Kingdom almost all images of female figures wearing the Double Crown of Upper and Lower Egypt were depictions of the goddess Mut, here labeled "Lady of Heaven, Mistress of All the Gods". The last image on this page shows the goddess's facial features which mark this as a work made sometime between late [[Eighteenth Dynasty]] and relatively early in the reign of [[Ramesses II]] (reigned {{circa}} 1279β1213 BC).<ref>{{cite web|title=Relief of the Goddess Mut|url=http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/3877/Relief_of_the_Goddess_Mut/set/b2a76d2df5ced4787e5bd55a53f53d33?referring-q=79.120|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307081058/https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/3877/Relief_of_the_Goddess_Mut/set/b2a76d2df5ced4787e5bd55a53f53d33?referring-q=79.120|archive-date=7 March 2016|website=Brooklyn Museum|access-date=17 June 2014}}</ref>
