Canopic
Jars were in use from the Old Kingdom onwards in Egypt to store various
internal organs removed during the process of mummification. They were
four in number and eventually came to represent the Four Sons of Horus. Each
jar had a characteristic head associated with the demi-god charged with the
safekeeping of a particular human organ. These four genii also represented the
four cardinal points of the compass. Duamutef, the jackal-headed jar
representing the east, contained the stomach and was protected by the goddess
Neith.
