The jars had lids that were shaped as the head of one of the minor funerary deities known as the Four Sons of Horus:
Imsety, the human-headed god, looks after the liver;
Happy, the babboon-headed god, looks after the lungs;
Duamutef, the jackal-headed god, looks after the stomach;
Qebehsenuef, the falcon-headed god, looks after the intestines.
There was no canopic jar that held the head.

∙ 11y agoThere are 4 canopic jars. Each head on the canopic jar were said to be the 4 sons of Horus.
1. The human head, Imseti, held the liver.
2. The baboon head, Hapi, held the lungs.
3.The falcon head, Qebehsenuef, held the intestines.
4. The dog head, Duamtefla, held the stomach.
The heart was not put into a canopic jar, because it was needed in the weighing of the heart ceremony.
