Renenutet from the Faiyum known as "She Who Rears"

She was a cobra goddess of nursing or rearing children, fertility and protector of the pharaoh. She was the patroness of the harvest and was called "Lady of the fertile land and granaries”. She also cared for a good fertility among humans and animals, was the goddess of linen as well, and also caretaker of children to whom she gave nourishment and a destiny.

At Osiris' court she sometimes attended the weighing of the hearts of the dead. Known as the "Nourishing Snake", she not only was a goddess who was sometimes shown nursing a child, but she offered her protection to the pharaoh in the land of the dead.

She was depicted either as a woman, a cobra or a woman with the head of a cobra (and sometimes the head of a lioness), wearing a double plumed headdress or the solar disk. She was occasionally confused with Meskhenet.

She had her own temple at Medinet Madi in the Faiyum built in dynasty XII
