Human-headed canopic jar lid

Egypt Valley of the Kings, tomb of Userhat, KV 45 Dynasty 18, reigns of Thutmose III to Amenhotep III, 1400–1352 BC Limestone Gift of Theodore M. Davis Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East 1902.50.2 (set: 1902.50.1A/B, 1902.50.2, 1902.50.3) Canopic jars held the internal organs from the mummified body, and came in sets of four. This jar lid was one of three excavated in the Valley of the Kings in 1902 by Egyptologist Howard Carter—who later discovered Tutankhamun's tomb—and millionaire businessman Theodore M. Davis. In 2006, archaeologists discovered fragments of the fourth jar in a nearby tomb (KV 27). The jar itself (on view up on the second floor) is inscribed for "Userhat, Overseer of the fields of Amun." KV 45 is located in the southeast branch of the main wadi, close to KV 44. The well-cut tomb consists of a shaft (A) and a small chamber (B). The tomb was found undecorated. *Scanned by Andréa Martinez with the Artec Space Spider* Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
