Viscera figure with human head (Imsety) ca. 1000-945 B.C. Third Intermediate Period Four wax and mud figures (25.3.156a-d) were found inside the mummy of Nesenaset, a woman who lived during the Third Intermediate Period. The figures represent the Four Sons of Horus, minor deities who protected the internal organs. During earlier periods, the organs were taken out of the body and mummified separately, then placed inside four "canopic" jars, each protected by one of these deities. During this era, the viscera were wrapped separately and put back into the body, along with these roughly-shaped figures. They are identified by their heads: the human-headed figure is Imsety, who protected the liver; the baboon is Hapy, guardian of the lungs; the jackal-headed Duamutef looked after the stomach, and the falcon-headed Quebesenuef guarded the intestines. This is one of two human-headed figures found in the abdominal cavity of Nesenaset. There was no falcon-headed figure.. Viscera figure with huma
