Kanoper
Kanoper fanns i det antika Egypten, och var kärl i vilka en avliden persons borttagna inälvor förvarades.[1] Kanoperna var vanligen fyra stycken och innehöll den avlidnes lever, lungor, magsäck och tarmar. Varje kärl pryddes av huvudet till den av horussönerna som skyddade respektive organ.

This set of canopic jars was made to contain the internal organs removed from the body during the mummification process. The four sons of the god Horus were believed to protect these organs. The jackal-headed Duamutef protected the stomach; the falcon-headed Qebehsenuef, the intestines; the baboon-headed Hapi, the lungs; and human-headed Imsety, the liver.
