Canopic jars are ancient egyptian jars that have lids with the head of a jackal, baboon, human, and falcon.
They were used for mummification of Pharaohs. They held the internal organs of Pharaohs.
Egyptians believed that the person who died would need their organs in the afterlife and that the jars held the organs to give to the person who died in the afterlife.
