Apis

"In ancient Egyptian religion, Apis or Hapis, alternatively spelled Hapi-ankh, was a sacred bull or multiple sacred bulls worshiped in the Memphis region, identified as the son of Hathor, a primary deity in the pantheon of ancient Egypt. Initially, he was assigned a significant role in her worship, being sacrificed and reborn. Later, Apis also served as an intermediary between humans and other powerful deities (originally Ptah, later Osiris, then Atum)." [Apis, Wikipedia, ret. 07/13/2024]

While wandering drunkenly in New Orleans during Mardi Gras season, the Secret of Sebek narrator fantasized about mingling with the white-clad acolytes adoring sacred Apis in ancient Egypt. [RB Sebek]

The Probilski Foundation had a statue of Apis. [RB Strange]
