Lid of a Canopic Jar as Head, Egypt, 3. Intermediate

Item Details

Description

Fired, light brown clay
Egypt, Third Intermediate Period, 21st to 23rd Dynasty
Lid of a canopic jar in the shape of a human head with smooth wig
Dimensions: height 10.3 cm; diameter max. 11 cm; diameter inside 5.3 cm
Provenance: Private Collection Bruno Wertz
Scientific research: Dr. Jan Moje, Free University of Berlin (see references below)
Similar canopic jar lids are located in the Museo Egizio in Turin (19021), and in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo (CG 4398)

This lid of a canopic jar, in the shape of the human-headed Horus son Amset, was crafted of fired, light brown clay and originates from the Third Intermediate Period, the 21st to the 23rd Dynasty (1070/69-714/712 BCE) from Egypt. The rotund, vertically slanting wig is voluminous, but exhibits next to a light foundation, no more remainders of colour. The face is, in comparison to the magnificent head of hair, slender and painted in yellow colour. The nose is knobbly, the mouth wide and endowed with full lips. Eye brows, lids and pupils have been additionally emphasized with black colour, next to the dim carving. The ears are relatively small and placed relatively far back. A short, wide beard is attached to the chin in slightly high relief. The lid is hollow on the inside and moulded with a relatively thin wall. An additional chunk of clay has been applied to the inside in the area of the face to ensure the stability of the thin wall in this area.

The lid of a canopic jar in the form of a head is allowing for its age in astonishingly well-preserved condition. The face depicts slight attrition. The entire surface of the lid displays heavy losses of the paint. The lid measures 10.3 cm in height, max. 11 cm in diameter outside, and 5.3 cm in diameter on the inside.
