A lid of a canopic jar with the head of a baboon, which represents the god Hapy. It is made of wood covered with painted gesso. Canopic jars were used to contain the viscera removed during mummification. Each of the Four Sons of Horus was responsible for protecting a different organ. From the Eighteenth Dynasty, canopic jars took the form of the god related to the organs contained therein. Hapy looked after the lungs. This example was purchased by Wellcome at auction in 1906 from the collection of Robert de Rustafjaell.
