The
above listed item is from the Late Period,(715-332 B.C.E.). This "Canopic
Jar" is clay cast with son of Horus and guardian of intestines.
The four sons of Horus protected each Canopic jar. They were Duamutef,
a jackal or dog who guarded the stomach, Hapy a baboon, who protected
the lungs, Quebehsenuf, a falcon who protected the intestines, and Imsety,
a human who guarded the liver. The jar has many hieroglyphics along
with a kneeling priest, the gods Khnum, Anubis and a faintly visible
cartouche. It is mainly intact and has 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.
