Canopic Jar with Head of Duamutef
Canopic jars were made to contain the embalmed viscera removed from the body in the process of mummification. The organs were placed under the protection of the Four Sons of Horus, whose heads form the lids of the jars: Hapy (baboon-headed), Imseti (human-headed), Duamutef (jackal-headed), and Kebehsenuef (falcon-headed). Duamutef is further featured in the scene painted on the jar and his name is mentioned in the inscription to its right. Like other jars under the protection of Duamutef, this jar would probably have contained the stomach.
