Vaso canópico y tapa

New Kingdom, Amarna Period
ca. 1349–1330 B.C. or shortly thereafter
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 121
Este soberbio recipiente para órganos fue encontrado—junto con tres más, ahora en El Cairo—en la tumba 55 del Valle de los Reyes, en medio de un enigmático conjunto de objetos funerarios realizados para miembros de la familia de Akhenatón. El nombre que aparece en los cuatro vasos, medio borrado pero descifrado por investigadores, es el de la reina Kiya, esposa secundaria de Akhenatón. Las tapas, que no encajan muy bien, quizá no pertenecieron originalmente a estos vasos.
