Duamutef

Duamutef is one of the Four Sons of Horus, a group of ancient Egyptian deities who protected the dead, most often associated with guarding the stomach, though in some schemes his role was swapped with his brother Hapi so that Duamutef guarded the lungs instead. His protective goddess was usually Neith, though other goddesses such as Sendjet could fill that role in Middle Kingdom sources. He was most often shown as a jackal, although in the Third Intermediate Period the animal forms of the four brothers were frequently confused and Duamutef was sometimes portrayed as a falcon instead. His name means roughly He who praises his mother. Like his brothers, his image appeared on the canopic jars that held organs removed during mummification, a connection that became standard from the First Intermediate Period onward.
