|description=Represented by a wooden image of the river god receiving honours in gratitude for the bounties its waters afford the country. There was a “celestial” Nile, called in the Ritual ''Nen‐naou ''or “primordial waters”; and a terrestrial Nile, worshipped at ''Nilopolis ''and Hapimoo. The latter was represented as an androgynous being with a beard and breasts, and a fat blue face ; green limbs and reddish body. At the approach of the yearly inundation, the image was carried from one place to another in solemn procession {{ctd-source|TG}}.
