canopic jar
In ancient Egyptian funerary ritual, a covered vessel of wood, stone, pottery, or faience containing the embalmed viscera removed from a body during mummification. First used during the Old Kingdom ( 2575- 2130 BC), the jars became more elaborate during the Middle Kingdom ( 1938- 1600 BC), when their lids were decorated with sculpted human heads (probably representations of the deceased). From the 19th dynasty until the end of the New Kingdom (1539-1075 BC), the heads represented the four sons of Horus. During the 20th dynasty (1190-1075 BC), the practice began of returning the viscera to the body, and the art of canopic jars declined
