“During the mummification process, the internal organs were removed and mummified separately. The organs were then placed in jars with lids decorated with the heads of four deities: Hapi, Qebehsenuef, Imsety, and Duamutef. These deities protected the internal organs. Duamutef had the head of a jackal and protected the stomach.” (Jennifer Wegner, label text, “Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Ancient Egypt”)
