專家說明

Imsety, one of the Four Sons of Horus, was associated with and protector of the liver, whilst Duamutef was protector of the stomach. A third jar would have been inscribed with an invocation by Nephthys to Hapy, associated with and protector of the lungs, and a fourth jar would have had an invocation by Selqet to Qebehsenuef, protector of the intestines.
