1. Title: Canopic Jar from Tomb 116, Cemetery A, Riqqeh, Egypt (C.1950-1800 BC) This Canopic jar, hailing from Tomb 116 in Cemetery A at Riqqeh, Egypt, dates back to the Middle Kingdom period, approximately 1950-1800 BC. The jar, crafted from limestone, is a testament to the ancient Egyptians' intricate and sophisticated funerary practices. Canopic jars were essential components of Egyptian burials, serving as containers for the deceased's vital organs, specifically the liver, lungs, stomach, and intestines. These organs were removed during the mummification process and preserved separately to ensure the deceased's well-being in the afterlife. This particular Canopic jar features a distinctive design, with the head of the god Imset, the deity responsible for preserving and protecting the internal organs. Imset is depicted with a false beard, a sign of divinity, and his ears are adorned with the symbols of the four sons of Horus, who were also believed to protect and guard the organs. The exterior of the jar is adorned with hieroglyphic inscriptions, which provide information about the deceased and the protective role of the god Imset. The interior of the jar is intricately carved, revealing the meticulous craftsmanship of the artisan. This Canopic jar is now part of the esteemed collection at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors with its historical significance and artistic beauty. The jar stands as a poignant reminder of ancient Egypt's rich cultural heritage and the fascinating practices surrounding death and the afterlife.
