Painted wooden canopic jars, Egyptian, 25th Dynasty, c700 BC. Four jars representing the Sons of Horus: the falcon-headed Qebhsenuef (intestines); the jackal-headed Duamutef (the stomach); the baboon-headed Hapy (the lungs), and the human-headed Imsety (the liver). These were minor deities who protected the internal organs which were removed during mummification.
