Mut is an Egyptian goddess, queen of all the gods; in early times she was primarily associated with the primordial waters of creation while in later times she was linked with motherhood and other creative forces as well. She is the consort of Amun.

She had a particular center of worship in the city of Thebes.

Mut is depicted here wearing the vulture crown (worn by goddesses with a strong maternal aspect), topped by the double crown (pschent) of Upper and Lower Egypt. She carries the was staff, a symbol of power, in one hand and the ankh, a symbol of life, in the other.

Mut may also be depicted as a woman with the wings of a vulture, or in the full form of a vulture.

Beautiful Mut, world-mother, mistress of heaven,
shelter of children, I praise and honor you.
