Bastet Canopic Jar
9.5 inches high
Ancient Egyptians believed cats to be the
embodiment of Bastet, the Egyptian goddess of the Sun's warmth and life-giving
power.
Their remarkable craftsmanship captures the beauty of this Bastet Jar made of
cold cast bronze and hand painted with detailed features all the way around the
jar.
Among the ancient Egyptians, canopic jars
were covered funerary vases, intended to keep the viscera of a mummy, and were
commonly made of limestone, pottery, wood, or bronze. All the viscera were not
kept in a single canopic jar, but rather each organ in its own.
Fine details, vivid, and unique colors.
