The Wooden Statue of Hapi as a Mummy
The gilded wooden statue depicts God Hapi, the god of the Nile, standing on a
small rectangular base. Hapi is usually portrayed as a fat bearded man
with heavy breasts, wearing a crown of reeds and lotus blossoms.
However, in this statue, Hapi is in the form of a mummy. His body is
completely enveloped in a cloak and his arms are crossed on his chest,
which is adorned with a large pectoral. The body is entirely gilded,
except for his eyes, eyebrows, and false beard. He wears a three-part
wig on his head.
