Duamutef was, in ancient Egyptian religion, one of the four sons of Horus and a protection god of the canopic jars. Commonly he is said to be the son of the god Horus the Elder. Another myth describes Duamutef and his brothers as sons of Osiris. According to this account, they were born from a lily flower that arose from the primeval ocean.

Along with his three brothers Imsety, Hapi and Qebehsenuef, Duamutef protected the mummified internal organs. His goal was to protect the stomach. His protector is the goddess Neith, and he represents the East direction.
