The Goddess of The Sky Nut, Ancient Egyptian Mythology, Mother of All Gods, Living Room Wall Decor, Gift for Her, 24x17 Inches, 60x30 cm

Nut is more commonly depicted as a naked woman covered with stars, her body held in a downward arch. Her legs and arms are the pillars of the sky, and her feet and hands touch the ground at four cardinal points on the horizon. Geb is often depicted under Nut. Because of her association with the rebirth of the sun, Nut became a mother-like figure and protector of the dead, whose image was painted on the inside lid of the coffin to protect the mummy. Many festivals were dedicated to Nut and celebrated throughout Egypt, such as the "Festival of Nut and Ra" and the "Feast of Nut". Nut appears in numerous depictions, but no temples or specific cult centers are associated with her.

The myth of the nut swallowing the sun god at the end of the day and giving birth to him again at the beginning of the next morning is very famous, and many variations of the myth are told in Egyptian mythology.

Nut was usually depicted as a huge naked woman whose body, sometimes studded with stars, spanned the sky, while her elongated legs and outstretched arms symbolized the four pillars of the firmament.
