The
above listed item is from the Late Period,(715-332 B.C.E.). This "Canopic
Jar" is clay cast with the head of Qebehsenuef (the Falcon), 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.
