Thoth as Baboon, Canopic Jar, 22nd Dynasty, c1550BC-1069 BC. Containers used to store internal organs removed from the deceased's body during mummification. Their stoppers were made in the likeness of Horus?s sons, funerary gods whose role was to guard the internal organs. Qebehsenuef, with the head of a falcon, looked after the intestines, Hapy, with the head of a baboon, safeguarded the lungs, Duamutef, with the head of a jackal, protected the stomach, and Imsety, with a human head, looked after the liver. Louvre.
