Viscera figure with baboon head (Hapy)
Third Intermediate Period
Not on view
A set of four roughly-made figures (25.3.156a–d) were found inside the mummy of Nesitaset. Each figure represents one of the Four Sons of Horus, the deities who both embodied and protected the internal organs. Nesitaset's organs had been removed, divided into seven packages, dessicated, wrapped in linen, and placed back in the body. This figure represents the baboon-headed Hapy, usually seen as the guardian of the lungs.
