This set of canopic jars was made to contain the internal organs removed from the body during the mummification process. The four sons of the god Horus were believed to protect these organs. The jackal-headed Duamutef protected the stomach; the falcon-headed Qebehsenuef, the intestines; the baboon-headed Hapi, the lungs; and human-headed Imsety, the liver.For the latest information about this object, canopic jars, visit art.thewalters.org.Dynasty: 22nd-23rd DynastyInscriptions: Reign: Style:
