The Egyptian hieroglyph Emblem of the West (Gardiner no. R13 𓊿 or R14 𓋀) represents the goddess Imentet, personification of the afterlife. It is composed of a hawk or ostrich feather. The alternate version of the symbol contains the complete figure of the hawk, for Horus, with the feather extending sideways, making it similar to the iat standard, surmounted by individual gods. The feather is associated with the headdress worn by the Libyans.[1] The lower part of the hieroglyph contains the vertical form of the "folded cloth" (S29 𓋴) . As an ideogram, the hieroglyph represents imnt "west" or wnmy "right".[2] See also
