The
above listed item is from the Late Period,(715-332 B.C.E.), 26th Dynasty
as a guideline. These "Canopic Jars" were clay thrown, detailed
in paints and faience glazed. We acquired these lovely rare pieces from
a select private collection and its provenance is Alexandria, Egypt.
Depicted are the four sons of Horus that were gaurdians of the dead.
The Canopic Jars listed have the heads of Qebeshennuf the falcon, Duamutef
the jackal or dog, who guarded the stomach, Hapy a baboon, who protected
the lungs, and Imsety the human who guarded the liver. These particular
and unique stemmed vessels were originally set into a wood or stone
composite base, then later placed into the tomb of the deceased. These
precious relics are inact, have retained some of their faience glaze
and they have age wear. The reason for the item being available is due
to the vast extent of archeological findings, thousands of years in
Egyptian burials and also the proliferation of these said items in older
private collections worldwide. Material: Clay, Faience Glaze. Dimesions:
