A blue, flat-backed faience amulet of one of the four sons of Horus, the baboon-headed god Hapi, depicted as a mummy. Pierced at the head to allow for stitching to the mummy bandages.
The Four Sons of Horus were deities, each with a different head, who protected a different internal organ. For Imsety, (the human-headed deity) it was the liver; for Duamutef, (the jackal-headed deity) the stomach; for Hapi (baboon-headed deity), the lungs; and for Qebehsenuef (falcon-headed deity), it was the intestines. The heart was not removed from the deceased, as it was believed to be the resting place of the soul.
