Kawer (also Ka-wer ) was the name of an ancient Egyptian deity that is already documented in the Old Kingdom .
background
The pyramid texts report about the deity Kawer : "The deceased should translate him to the pillar of the tenth Upper Egyptian Wadjit Gau and to the fields of the great bull, where Kawer embodies the deceased and the pillar and vice versa". In the Middle Kingdom , Kawer is mentioned in connection with the dead goddess Kemwer : "The deceased is the water ( mw ), the earth ( t3 ), the bitter lakes ( km-wr ) and the great bull ( k3-wr )".
Kawer was iconographically represented as a standing deity; the following gods bore his name: in the New Kingdom Amun-Re and Month , in the late period Osiris and Re , in Greco-Roman times Osiris-Chentechtai and Haroeris .
