Question

The inscription “It is improper to boil a head here” appears in a Berenike shrine named for these animals, where these animals were ritually decapitated. The inability to easily raise these animals in captivity led priests to scam peasants using rag bundles made to resemble their mummified remains; those remains, along with ibises, (-5[1])were stacked in (-5[1])clay pots found inside the Saqqaran (-5[1])catacombs. (-5[2])The serekh is typically surmounted by this animal whose head (15[1])tops the intestine-containing (*) canopic jar guarded by Serqet, (-5[2])which represents (-5[1])Qebehsenuef (“keh-beh-seh-NOO-eff”). The city of Nekhen, (-5[1])or (-5[1])Hierakonpolis, is (10[1])alternatively named for this animal (-5[1])that is depicted binding a foe’s head above a set of papyrus plants on the Narmer Palette. A god most (-5[1])commonly (-5[1])depicted (-5[1])with this animal’s head rides the solar barque across (10[1])the sky. (10[1]-5[2])For 10 points, name this sacred animal of Horus.
