The Menat (Menit, Menyat) was
an emblem of the goddess Hathor, a beaded necklace or collar with a
counterweight which symbolized the life-force. The necklace was worn by
priests and priestesses of Hathor, and by pharoahs and their queens.
The menat was a frequent offering to the goddess, and menat amulets were worn to attract prosperity and good fortune. |
