#duamutef

Went to The Met's Egyptian wing to draw jackals, for my agonies.

9B pure graphite pencil on sketchbook.

Detail of Hornedjitef's canopic chest, with jackal gods (Duamutef?) bringing offerings to what I guess is a shrine of Osiris. I took this photo at the exhibition Discovering Ancient Egypt at the National Museum of Australia.

When: Ptolemaic Egypt

Where: Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, Leiden

A set of four canopic jars was an important element of the burial in most periods of Ancient Egyptian history. Canopic jars were containers in which the separately mummified organs would be placed. The best known versions of these jars have lids in the shape of the heads of protective deities called the four Sons of Horus. The human-headed Imsety was the guardian of the liver; the baboon-headed Hapy looked after the lungs; the jackal-headed Duamutef was responsible for the stomach; and the falcon-headed Qebehsenuef cared for the intestines.

Due to limited space, my shrine is confined to a closet, but…

LOOKIT ALL THOSE GODS!!!!

From back left to right; Anubis, Sekhmet-Mut, Hathor-Nut, Bast, Mafdet, Wepwawet, Shezmu, (itty bitty) Amun-Ra, Nefertem, Wenut, Tefnut, Pakhet, Duamutef, and Anupet!

Front: Serqet!

Currently awaiting a proper statue for Amun-Ra, and need to get Mama Anupet a bigger jackal (I thought the itty bitty one was gonna be as big as Dad and Wep’s 😭) but!! It feels SOOO good to have Them all represented somehow!! 💜

Dua Netjeru!

Also please excuse the fuzz and ashes on the shrine cloth, I own a lot of black faux fur that sheds on everything, and ashes are kinda par for the course with incense smh

[egypquotes]

Kebechet: Be kind. Everyone is fighting their own battles.

Duamutef: Why would I be kind? I will be brutal and relentless and ride into battle by their side!

I made a couple of egyptian deities in roblox;

Duamutef, khepri and Apophis.

Story wise; apophis suceeded in killing ra, and disintigrated a lotta other gods in the duat that inhabited the realm/were trying to defend Ra, the sole deities that happened to be left were duamutef, ammut, set, wadjet, khepri, mut, thoth, taweret, ma'at, medjed, Tefnut, and ofc; apophis.

Wadjet ends up being the one who tries to find Duamutef and khepri.

Meanwhile, the other 10 remaining deities presume that duamutef and khepri had perished; meanwhile he got badly injured and was yeeted out of the duat(khepri clung onto duamutef's back) and onto earth; the sun's still intact somehow; despite ra's demise....

(Basically the sun gods merely wield the power of the sun's light and fire)

Canopic Jars, 1080-720 B.C.E

Limestone

Egyptian

------------------------------------------

Canopic jars were made to contain the organs that were removed from the body in the process of mummification: the lungs, liver, intestines, and stomach. Each organ was protected by one of the Four Sons of Horus.

Baboon (Hapy) - Held the lungs

Jackal (Duamutef) - Held the stomach

Human (Imsety) - Held the liver

Falcon (Qebehsenuef) - Held the intestines

Applying this to Duamutef again.

“you’re safe now.”

“you can rest now.”

“you���ve fought so hard.”

“you don’t have to fight anymore.”

“just sleep, okay?”

“i won’t let anything hurt you.”

“it’s over. it’s all over.”

“you don’t have to worry about anything right now.”

“shh, shh, i’ve got you. you’re safe here.”

“i know it was scary.”

“i know it hurts.”

“you’re all done hurting. there’s no more pain.”

“just focus on resting, okay?”

“you need to save your strength.”

“your job right now is to heal.”

“i’m getting you out of here.”

“i’m taking you home. we’re going home.”

“you’re safe in my arms. the hard part is over.”

Detail of the inner coffin / cartonnage of Nehemsu, from head to chest. A falcon with the head of a green ram spreads its wings over her chest. On the left side, Duamutef and Hapy face Wadjet (I'm guessing -- the columns for their names have been left empty.) I took this photo at the Discovering Ancient Egypt exhibition at the National Museum of Australia.

When: Third Intermediate Period, 22nd Dynasty

Where: Rijkmuseum van Oudheden, Leiden

Duamutef: come on, i'm your brother! Let's not forget who pulled you out of the Nilo when you were six

Ihy: Let's not forget who pushed me there!

So.... I made duamutef in this picrew

Note: it's my interpretation of his human form, so don't go at my throat saying how it's not him.

So, I've finally doodled duamutef out for this.

For quick context; he got badly injured, stripped of his magic, and exiled by the ennead(specifically one with egyptian and Roman deities). He was then kidnapped and tortured before being left to die in a rainy, cold alleyway. A newer doctor(as in fresh out of med-school) found him and was nursing him back to health.

I also came up with this alt scenario where he wakes up, gets out of bed, and attempts to escape by climbing out a window, only to be caught mid-escape by said doctor.

When the whumpee wakes up in bed after getting badly hurt, and they almost immediately try to get up, but the caretaker puts a hand on their shoulder and holds them down, telling them to take it easy and not move so much yet. The whumpee trying to insist that they’re fine and they can get up, only to realize that while they normally were much stronger than the caretaker, the caretaker was managing to easily hold them down, and that maybe they weren’t as alright as they thought.
