| | Mesenet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In Egyptian mythology, Mesenet (also spelt Meskhenet, Meskhent, and Meshkent) was the goddess of childbirth, and the creator of each child's Ka, a part of their soul. |
 | | In paticular, in early Egypt, women delivered babies by squatting over a pair of bricks, known as birth bricks, and Mesenet was the goddess associated with this form of delivery. |
 | | Consequently, in art, she was depicted as a brick with a woman's head, wearing a cow's uterus upon it. |
