Canopic jars held the vital internal organs of the mummified deceased. This canopic jar’s inscription indicates it held the deceased’s lungs, which should be guarded by Horus’ son, Hapy, and the goddess Nephthys. But the lid depicts another of Horus’ sons, Imsety, who normally guards the liver. Apparently the wrong lid was placed on the jar.
