The
above listed items are from the Late Period,(715-332 B.C.E.), These
four "Canopic Jars" were clay cast, thrown, detailed in black
paint and at one time glazed, now worn. We acquired these incredible
pieces from a select private collection and their provenance is from
Alexandria, Egypt. Depicted are the four sons of Horus that were guardians
of the dead. The Canopic Jars listed have the heads of "Qebeshennuf"
the falcon, "Duamutef" the jackal or dog, who guarded the
stomach; "Hapy" a baboon, who protected the lungs and "Imsety"
the human headed son, that guarded the liver. On the containers there
is downward row of hieroglyphics on each jar and some have traces of
blue faience glaze. These jars are intact with ancient age wear. The
reason for the item being available is due to the vast extent of archeological
findings, thousands of years in Egyptian burials and also the proliferation
of these said items in older private collections worldwide. Our ideal
is to offer our customers every opportunity to acquire an Egyptian anitquity
without the high end gallery price tag. Know that we stand firmly behind
all of our fine products, guarantee and easy return policies. You have
