Canopic jars  were used by the  Ancient Egyptians  during the  mummification  process to store and preserve the  viscera  of their owner for the  afterlife. They were commonly either carved from  limestone  or were made of pottery.  These jars were used by the Ancient Egyptians from the time of the  Old Kingdom  up until the time of the  Late Period  or the  Ptolemaic Period, by which time the viscera were simply wrapped and placed with the body.  The viscera were not kept in a single canopic jar: each jar was reserved for specific organs. The name "canopic" reflects the mistaken association by early Egyptologists with the Greek legend of  Canopus.

Canopic jars of the Old Kingdom were rarely inscribed, and had a plain lid. In the  Middle Kingdom  inscriptions became more usual, and the lids were often in the form of human heads. By the  Nineteenth dynasty  each of the four lids depicted one of the four sons of  Horus, as guardians of the organs.  See link below;
