Khepri depicted as a scarab with the Duat the Egyptian Afterlife, held above his head, standing on a sun disk with baboons on either side.

The description of this figure in Two Theban Princes is so interesting that I’m going to quote (most of) it:

“Pylon 15 [in the tomb of Khaemwaset] is the last on the right side. The guardian demon[’s] head is turned away from us; it is thus the back part of his wig that we see. The face, therefore, looks inwards towards the sanctuary, while the feet of the creature are turned outwards. His name is Nehes-her-peri-em-Duat, which may be translated, ‘Watchful one, on coming forth from the Duat.’ This seems to explain his attitude, especially as we shall see below that part of his description is 'the one that goes and comes.’ The name 'Nehes’ is given to the bow of the boat in [Chapter 22 of the Book of the Dead], which is entitled 'The Chapter of entering after coming forth’ [ie returning to the Duat after leaving it]. The attitude of the guardian is an attempt to combine both movements.” (p 51)

Anubis

Egyptian god of death, the underworld, and the afterlife. Up until the time of the Middle Kingdom (2055 – 1650 BC), he was Lord of the Duat (the underworld) until this role was bestowed upon Osiris. Despite this, Anubis still ushered the heart of the deceased into the afterlife.

Amongst the many titles Anubis is also known for is “Master of Secrets”, as he alone truly knows what the afterlife holds.
