Feather of Ma'at

The Feather of Ma'at.

The Feather of Ma'at (真実 (マアト) の羽 (は) 根 (ね) or 真理 (マアト) の羽 (はね) Maato no Hane) is an item used in the Weighing of the Heart ritual. It is placed on one of the dishes of the Millennium Scale and weighed against the sins of a person.

History

It was used by Akhenaden and other two High Priests to perform Tragoedia's weighing. Kalim's predecessor placed the Feather on one end of his Millennium Scales and had a Winged Kuriboh absorb the man's heart and place itself on the other end, in order to measure his sins (which were immensely heavy and turned the Kuriboh black). When Tragoedia released his ka, the Winged Kuriboh also absorbed the Feather, preventing Tragoedia from reabsorbing his heart (which contained some of his heka).

Shadi would later use a Feather of Ma'at to perform Kanekura's Weighing of the Heart. It is unclear if it was the same one.

In the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga, the Winged Kuriboh did something to a "Light and Darkness Dragon" card when Koyo Hibiki was giving it to a young Chazz Princeton. It was later revealed that it had transferred the Feather into the card.
