This funerary jar in alabaster is part of a collection of four canopic jars of which the provenance is not known. Of slightly cylindrical form, it is equipped with a lid in the form of a falcon's head. The eyes, the beak and the nostrils are emphasized by black marks. The piece, which is marked by several slight damages, probably dates from the Ramesside Period.
