grandegyptianmuseum:Werethekau nursing Tutankhamun, gold amulet from the Tomb of Tutankhamun. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo.“The cobra with woman’s head sometimes wears the low crown also associated with Isis, but on other occasions the Double Crown of Mut or the two plumes which link her with Renenutet, the harvest goddess, nurse and protectress of pharaohs. Tutankhamun’s gold example wearing feathers, horns and disc and depicted suckling the young king is actually named Weret-hekau (“Great Enchantress” or “Great of Magic”), unfortunately the epithet of more than one goddess, including Mut.”― Amulets of Ancient Egypt, Carol Andrews, University of Texas Press. -- source link
