Three canoptic lids in different shapes3D Model
These three lids from the Egyptian Museum of the University of Bonn once belonged to canopic jars. These canopic jars were used to store the organs of the deceased which were removed during the mummification process. It seems to have been customary to keep the organs in four jars. From the fifth dynasty onwards these vessels were an integral part of the burial. The shape and form of the canopic lids changed over time. Since the First Intermediate Period, they had been made in the shape of a human head. From the early Middle Kingdome onwards, the lids were designed after the four sons of Horus: Amset (human), Hapi (baboon), Qebehsenuef (falcon) and Duamutef (jackal).
