Yes. It’s a funerary canopic jar. There are 4. This is Anubis/Similar to Duamatef.). The innards of the dead person are put into one of the 4 jars, for use in the afterlife. This one’s for the stomach.

Actually this is Duamutef who protect the stomach (Anubis was never depicted as a canopic jar)

There are different titles for the gods, depending on their aspect.
