Why?
Mut was generally always depicted as having wings. Sometimes as a vulture or with the headdress of a vulture. And she always has a symbolic red dress.
I can maybe see some connection as her being regarded as "mother", and especially the fact that she can't have children. But other than that, she doesn't make much sense for the statue IMO.
