Imsety is one of the four sons of the Egyptian god Horus, often depicted as a human-headed figure. He is associated with the protection of the liver and is commonly represented in ancient Egyptian art as a man with a human head. Imsety is one of the Canopic deities, each responsible for safeguarding different organs of the deceased during the mummification process. In ancient Egyptian funerary practices, Imsety was believed to guard the liver, which was considered essential for the afterlife. His counterpart, Hapy, protected the lungs, while Duamutef and Qebehsenuef looked after the stomach and intestines, respectively. Together, these deities played a crucial role in ensuring the safe passage of the deceased into the afterlife.
