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.
