Imiut fetish : ウィキペディア英語版 | Imiut fetish
The Imiut fetish (''ỉmỉ-wt'') has been documented throughout the history of Ancient Egypt. This was a stuffed, headless animal skin, often a feline or bull, which was tied by the tail to a pole terminating in a lotus bud, inserted into a stand. The fetish was present in Egyptian funerary rites from the earliest ages. Although its origin and purpose is unknown, the imiut fetish dates as far back as to the First Dynasty (3100-2890 BC). ==History== In very early Egyptian mythology, the deity Imiut (meaning, "He who is in his wrappings") may have been a god of the Duat or underworld, although insufficient records survive to explain whether this was the case. An early example found in 1914 by an expedition of the Metropolitan Museum of Art near the pyramid of Senusret I (c. 1971-1928 BCE) was placed in a shrine.
