Qebehsenuef

Protector of the Western Direction, He Who Refreshes His Brothers

Mythology
Egyptian mythology

Qebehsenuef is the falcon-headed son of Horus who guards the west and watches over the deceased's intestines, stored in the fourth canopic jar with his head as its lid. His name means "He Who Refreshes His Brothers," and he pours cool water to revive the dead on their road through the underworld. The scorpion goddess Serqet stands as his protector in turn. With his three brothers, Imsety, Hapi, and Duamutef, he attends the embalming and shields the body's preserved organs so the dead can live again.
