Description

Egyptian Museum, Cairo. 600 B.C. Canopic Jars were in use from the Old Kingdom onwards in Egypt to store various internal organs removed during the process of mummification. They were four in number and eventually came to represent the Four Sons of Horus. Each jar had a characteristic head associated with the demi-god charged with the safekeeping of a particular human organ. These four genii also represented the four cardinal points of the compass. Duamutef, the jackal-headed jar representing the east, contained the stomach and was protected by the goddess Neith. Qebehsenuef, the falcon-headed jar representing the west, contained the intestines and was protected by the goddess Selket. Hapi, the baboon-headed jar representing the north, contained the lungs and was protected by the goddess Nephthys. Imseti, the human-headed jar representing the south, contained the liver and was protected by the goddess Isis.Exterior: 4"W x 8.5"H x 4"D 12.5 diameter Interior Base: 5"H x 2.75"W

5Canopic Jar  Jan 12, 2009 By John H. Lester "jlester343"
I bought this jar for some of the ashes of our beloved border collie. The jar is perfect but the lid does not fit tight. In this case I used epoxy to seal it which was what I had planned to do in any event. I have nothing but praise for the seller. It arrived on time and as advertised.


5Ancient Style Canopic Jar  Feb 10, 2012 By Cris Pen "Crispen"
Although it was mentioned that the top does not fit seemlessly to the base, I find this very appealing! It gives the impression that this piece was hand made by an ancient Egyptian clay worker centuries ago verses being mass produced by modern machine. Which is exactly what I wanted. The product arrived early and as advertised. I am very happy with the purchase.
