Description:
|
|
The Twenty-sixth Dynasty of Egypt (664-525 BCE) is also called the Saite Period after the city of Sais, where its pharaohs had their capital, and marks the beginning of the Late Period of ancient Egypt. Canopic jars are a set of four vases with lids into which a mummy’s internal organs were deposited. Typically the Four Sons of Horus were depicted on the lids; this lid represents the only human-headed deity of the four, Imset (or Amset), who was associated with the liver.
