------------------------------------------

Canopic jars were made to contain the organs that were removed from the body in the process of mummification: the lungs, liver, intestines, and stomach. Each organ was protected by one of the Four Sons of Horus.

Baboon (Hapy) - Held the lungs

Jackal (Duamutef) - Held the stomach

Human (Imsety) - Held the liver

Falcon (Qebehsenuef) - Held the intestines

-Description from The Met

[didanawisgi]

And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

Revelation 1:12-15

This is a canopic jar

I'm sick to my stomach

Sick it can't go very far

You say it's nature

That I live in my own

That I speak as fixture

From inside your bones

Am I your casual penalty

When your story's over

You tell me, battery
