Imsety (also spelled Imset or Imseti) is one of the Four Sons of Horus, a group of four deities in ancient Egyptian religion who were associated with the protection of the viscera of the deceased. Imsety is typically depicted as a human-headed figure and is associated with the liver. He is often shown in funerary texts and artifacts, such as the Book of the Dead, where he is depicted protecting the liver of the deceased. The other three sons of Horus are Hapi (baboon-headed, associated with the lungs), Duamutef (jackal-headed, associated with the stomach), and Qebehsenuef (hawk-headed, associated with the intestines). The Four Sons of Horus were believed to protect the internal organs of the deceased, which were removed during the mummification process and stored in canopic jars. The name "Imsety" is derived from the ancient Egyptian language and can be translated to Hebrew as אימסטי. In other languages, it is known as Imset in French, Imseti in Italian, and Imset in Spanish.

Four sons of Horus
The four sons of Horus were a group of four deities in ancient Egyptian religion who were believed to protect the dead in the afterlife. Beginning in the First Intermediate Period of Egyptian history, Imsety, Hapy, Duamutef, and Qebehsenuef were especially connected with the four canopic jars that housed the internal organs which were removed from the body of the deceased during the process of mummification. Most commonly, Imsety protected the liver, Hapy the lungs, Duamutef the stomach, and Qebehsenuef the intestines, but this pattern often varied. The canopic jars were given lids that represented the heads of the sons of Horus. Although they were originally portrayed as humans, in the latter part of the New Kingdom, they took on their most distinctive iconography, in which Imsety is portrayed as a human, Hapy as a baboon, Duamutef as a jackal, and Qebehsenuef as a falcon. The four sons were also linked with stars in the sky, with regions of Egypt, and with the cardinal directions.
