介绍（中）	这个小人物代表着玛特，真理和正义的女神，一个平衡的理想世界的化身。她被描绘成典型的姿势，坐在地上，膝盖向上。她头顶的痕迹表明，她最初戴着一根鸵鸟羽毛，象征着她的名字小玛特人物被称为大型作品的一部分，通常位于ibis前面，作为对Thoth神的描绘。Thoth是书写和智慧之神，因此与Maat有着密切的联系。这件作品没有证据表明它最初的底部有一个柄，可以将它放入这样的构图中，尽管小Maat可能放在凹陷处或放在小凳子上。同样值得注意的是，高级官员有时被描绘成脖子上挂着一个小玛特雕像，以表明他们的行为是公正的尽管这个人物的体型很小，但他的脸造型很好，上面有非常微弱的金色残留物，表明它最初是镀金的。
介绍（英）	This small figure represents Maat, goddess of truth and justice, and embodiment of an ideal world in equilibrium. She is depicted in her typical position, seated on the ground with her knees pulled up. Traces on top of her head suggest that she originally wore an ostrich feather, signifying her name. Small Maat figures are known as part of larger compositions, where they are usually situated in front of an ibis, as a depiction of the god Thoth. Thoth was the god of writing and wisdom and was therefore closely connected to Maat. This piece shows no evidence that it originally had a tang at the bottom to place it into such a composition, though the small Maat could have rested in a depression or been placed on a small stool. It is also noteworthy that high officials are sometimes depicted wearing a small Maat figure hung around their neck to signify that their conduct is just. Despite the small size of the figure, the face is very nicely modelled and bears very faint remains of gold, showing that it was originally gilded.
