Vase canope et couvercle

New Kingdom, Amarna Period
ca. 1349–1330 B.C. or shortly thereafter
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 121
Ce magnifique récipient à organes a été trouvé (avec trois autres, aujourd’hui au Caire) dans la tombe 55 de la Vallée des rois, avec un curieux mélange d’objets funéraires réalisés initialement pour les membres de la famille d’ Akhenaton. Sur les quatre vases, les experts ont pu déchiffrer le nom effacé de la reine Kiya, deuxième épouse d’Akhenaton. Cependant, le mauvais ajustement des couvercles sur les vases pourrait signifier que ces pièces sont dépareillées.
