  Arts Education for the 21st Century Museum : Canopic Jars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
In the process of mummification certain organs-the liver, the lungs, the stomach, and the intestines-were removed, embalmed separately, and stored in jars, known as canopic jars after the Greek sailor Canopus, who was said to be buried at Canopus (Abuqir) in the western Delta and worshiped there in the form of a human-headed jar.
Each of the organs was identified with one of the Four Sons of Horus: the liver with Imsety (man's head), the lungs with Hapy (baboon's head), the stomach with Duamutef (jackal's head), and the intestines with Qebehsenuef (falcon's head).
The four gods were in turn placed under the protection of four goddesses, Imsety being associated with Isis, Hapy with Nephthys, Duamutef with Neith, and Qebehsenuef with Selkis.

The ribs(?) in her hull are Imsety, Hapy, Duamutef and Kebhsenuf, (that is to say) 'He who plunders', 'He who acts as a robber', 'He who sees his father', and 'He who makes his own name'" (Faulkner 1978b:49).
The association of each of the Sons with parts of the boat, the vessel which carries the deceased to the other side, may be an attempt to represent the Sons with their by-now associated canopic equipment, the vessels which carry the deceased to the other side.

The Sons of Horus are a group of four (4) gods, said to be the children - but sometimes also the "souls" - of Horus.
Their names (in English transliteration) and their usual appearance (or iconography) were as follows: Imsety (human), Duamutef (jackal), Hapy (baboon) and Qebesenuef (falcon).
Later, during the Third Intermediate Period (about 700 BCE onwards) when embalming customs altered and the preserved organs were reunited inside the body cavity after mummification, each organ bore an amulet of its respective deity attached to its wrappings.
