In Egyptian religion and mythology, Mut (also spelled Maut) was a vulture-headed mother goddess, wife of the great god Amon and mother of Khons. Amon, Mut, and Khons made up the divine triad at Thebes.

Amon was often portrayed with his consort Mut at his side. She was sometimes depicted as the body of a vulture, as a woman with the head of a vulture, or as a woman wearing a vulture headdress and the united crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt. Sometimes she was shown standing with winged arms outstretched. In her hands she held the ankh, the sign of life, and a papyrus scepter, and at her feet was the feather of Maat, which represented truth.

Egyptian queens wore the symbol of the vulture on their crowns. It is thought that the vulture was adopted as the symbol of divine motherhood because the vulture was known to be particularly conscientious and protective of her chicks and because the Egyptians believed the vulture reproduced by the power of parthenogenesis, with no need of males.

Mut originally may have been the female counterpart of the waters of the primal abyss, personified as the god Nun, but she later became associated with Amon. As the status of Amon grew in the New Kingdom, and he was consolidated with the god Re as Amon-Re, the status of Mut grew correspondingly. Amon-Re’s worshipers began to consider him the principal deity, of whom other gods were actually aspects. Mut also followed this trend, and she was considered the personification of the one great goddess; as such all goddesses, including Hathor, Sekhmet, Isis, Bastet, Nekhbet, and Nut, were considered aspects of her. When Amon-Re was portrayed with every type of animal and human attribute to indicate his stature as an all-encompassing god, Mut would also be portrayed with a multiplicity of attributes; occasionally she was even shown as a man with a penis and claws of a lion.

The center of the worship of Mut, like that of Amon-Re, was at Thebes, where a great temple dedicated to the goddess was built during Amenhotep III’s reign (1390–53 bc). An avenue of sphinxes led to this temple, which stood just south of Amon-Re’s shrine. Mut’s temple was elaborate and even contained a sacred artificial lake shaped like a horseshoe. Her sanctuary at Thebes was an active religious center for 2,000 years. The Greeks identified Mut with their goddess Hera.
