A Canopic Jar Depicting Duamutef, Reproduction for Display. In ancient Egypt, a Canopic Jar like this one was used to safely preserve the internal organs of deceased individuals. The jar in question features a reproduction of Duamutef, a god with the head of a jackal, who is tasked with safeguarding the stomach and represents the eastern direction. According to myth, Duamutef was also under the protection of Neith, a powerful goddess. This particular Canopic Jar is a modern creation and bears an image of Anubis on its side. It's worth noting that Anubis was often associated with mummification and the afterlife in ancient Egyptian culture. The model used to create this Canopic Jar was produced using Agisoft Photoscan, a sophisticated software tool for photogrammetry and 3D modeling.
