The ''djed'' hieroglyph was a pillar-like symbol that represented stability. It was also sometimes used to represent Osiris himself, often combined "with a pair of eyes between the crossbars and holding the crook and flail."<ref>{{cite book |first1=Edna R. |last1=Russmann |first2=Thomas Garnet Henry |last2=James |last3=Davies |first3=W.V. |title=Eternal Egypt : masterworks of ancient art from the British Museum |year=2001 |publisher=Univ. of California Press |location=Berkeley |isbn=978-0-520-23086-6 |page=126 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xNmoKfdeJ1sC&pg=PA126 |access-date=2012-07-17}}</ref> The ''djed'' hieroglyph is often found together with the [[tyet]] (also known as Isis knot) hieroglyph, which is translated as life or welfare. The ''djed'' and the tyet used together may depict the duality of life. The tyet hieroglyph may have become associated with Isis because of its frequent pairing with the ''djed''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ancient Egypt&nbsp;– The Mythology |url=http://www.egyptianmyths.net/isisknot.htm |access-date=19 December 2011}}</ref>
