Amu-Aa

Amu-Aa is attested in Egyptian religious-literary sources as one of the divine attendants who travels with Osiris through the hours of the night in the Amduat (the night-barque cycle). The sources present Amu-Aa as a named member of the retinue specifically placed in the second hour of the night; there is no mythic biography, origin myth, or narrative account of personal deeds beyond this liturgical/theological attestation in the available materials.

No consistent iconographic or anthropomorphic description is documented in the provided sources. Claims that derive from the name's lexical components (for example renderings such as "eater of the donkey/ass" or "eater of the phallus") are etymological readings reported in the summaries and should not be taken as direct iconographic descriptions; the supplied texts do not give a concrete visual portrait of Amu-Aa.

The sources report a narrowly defined functional behavior: Amu-Aa "would eat the bread made for the boat and use the perfume," indicating the deity consumes provisions and uses offerings prepared for the funerary/night barque during the second hour of the night. Beyond this consumptive access to the boat's provisions, no additional powers, magical faculties, or broader activities are recorded in the provided materials.
