Description
A pair of exquisite vintage hand-forged tin canopy jars. Duamutf (Jackal) and Kebekhsenuf (Falcon)
A large-scale metal sculpture, entirely handmade, with a deep, genuine rust and gilded details. It features a rough, weathered surface and turquoise copper patina.
"Captivating and mysterious, this extraordinary pair of hand-forged sheet iron Canopic Jars embodies the timeless allure of ancient Egyptian mythology. Featuring the beautifully sculpted heads of Duamutef (the jackal) and Qebehsenuef (the falcon), these jars boast a masterfully executed aesthetic of heavy natural oxidation and centuries-old decay.
The rich, multi-layered texture seamlessly blends deep carbon black and earthy raw rust with a stunning mineral-powder verdigris patina. The absolute piece de resistance is the piercing 24K gilt eyes, which catch the light with divine, subtle brilliance amidst the coarse weathered surfaces. A truly theatrical and historical statement set, perfect for an eclectic library, a sophisticated dark academia study, or a high-end curiosity cabinet display."
