Medjed

Medjed
The image depicts the Egyptian deity, Medjed, who appears as an oculated dome, supported by two human-like feet.
A depiction of Medjed based on the Greenfield papyrus. The original papyrus illustrations are colourless outlines.

In Ancient Egyptian religion, Medjed (Egyptological: mḏd) is a minor deity[a] mentioned in certain copies of the Book of the Dead. While not much is known about the deity, his ghost-like depiction in the Greenfield papyrus has earned him popularity in modern Japanese culture, and he has appeared as a character in video games and anime.
