• Canopic vessels are vessels used by the ancient Egyptians during the mummification process to store and preserve the entrails of the dead for the afterlife. They were usually made of limestone or pottery. Not all of the entrails were kept in one canopic vessel, but there were 4 canopic vessels, each of which was stored in a specific organ: the stomach, intestines, lungs, and liver. Which it was believed that the dead would need in the afterlife. There was no vessel for the heart, as the Egyptians believed it was the seat of the soul and so it was left inside the body.

• Canopic vessels of the Old Kingdom were distinguished by the fact that they were rarely engraved and had a plain lid. In the Middle Ages, engravings became more common, and pot lids became shaped like human heads. In the Nineteenth Dynasty, the lids of the four vessels were made so that each depicted one of the four sons of Horus, as guardians of the organs inside the vessels.

• The canopic vessels take the form of the four sons of Horus: “Hapi” to guard the lungs, “Amste” to guard the liver, “Domotive” to guard the stomach, and “Kabhsenuf” to guard the intestines. There was a firm belief that the dead person would need these entrails in the afterlife, so they must be preserved. The vessels are filled with materials that prevent decomposition, and are placed close to the dead.
