Weighing of the Heart | Psychostasia | Egyptian Book of the Dead

The Weighing of the Heart — from the Egyptian Book of the Dead. The heart of the deceased placed on the scale against the feather of Ma'at, the feather of truth. Anubis watches the balance with absolute precision. Thoth stands ready to record the result. The most consequential weighing in world mythology — and the measure was a single feather.
