Abesch-imi-duat is an ancient Egyptian deity from the Amduat . In the New Kingdom , the deity Abesch is also recorded as a snake deity .
As an epithet , Abesch also served as the title of the crocodile god Sobek. In Kom Ombo , the deity Abesh is also mentioned as a sacred snake. In addition, a triad of gods is iconographically mentioned in the context of a barque , which is represented in the form of a person with bull and crocodile heads. A clear identification with the responsible deities is not possible due to the sparse finds.
