Canopic Jar of Manhata
New Kingdom
Two canopic jars inscribed with the name Manhata are on display in the Museum (18.8.1a, b, .3a, b). These are part of a set of jars that once held the four internal organs that were removed during the mummification process. Each is inscribed with a text placing the organ inside under the protection of one of the Four Sons of Horus.
Manhata, whose name suggests that she came from western Asia, also had a silver libation jar (18.8.22a, b) and a heart amulet (26.8.144) inscribed with her name.
