Hapi was one of the Four sons
of Horus depicted in funerary literature as protecting the
throne of Ausare (Osiris) in the Underworld.
Hapi is depicted as a baboon-headed mummified human on funerary
furniture and especially the canopic jars that held the organs
of the deceased (Hapi's jar held the lungs). Later Hermetic
philosophers would equate Hapi with the element of air because
of his association with the funerary protectress Nebet Het (Nephthys)
and the East.
