Imentet (Ament, Amentet or Imentit, meaning "She of the West") was a goddess in ancient Egyptian religion representing the necropolises west of the Nile.
She was the consort of Aqen, a god who guided Ra through parts of the underworld. Although she was never officially worshipped, she was mentioned in various hymns and passages of the Book of the Dead.
Role
As goddess of the deceased, Imentet lived in a tree looking out at the entrance to the Duat (underworld).

She was usually depicted in a red sheath dress wearing the hieroglyph for "west" on her head and a sceptre and an ankh in her hands. She often appears in tombs welcoming the deceased into the afterlife, sometimes with wings, and sometimes as a kite because of her connection to Isis and Nephthys.
