Vaso canopo con coperchio

New Kingdom, Amarna Period
ca. 1349–1330 B.C. or shortly thereafter
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 121
Questa splendida urna funeraria utilizzata per conservare le viscere, fu rinvenuta, insieme a tre pezzi simili oggi conservati al Cairo, nella Tomba 55 nella Valle dei Re, in mezzo a uno straordinario coacervo di oggetti funebri creati in origine per i membri della famiglia reale di Akhenaton. Gli studiosi sono riusciti a decifrare il nome scolorito sui quattro vasi come quello della regina Kiya, la seconda moglie di Akhenaton. I coperchi non aderiscono perfettamente all’imboccatura dei quattro vasi, lasciando aperta l’ipotesi che le parti riassemblate non appartenessero in origine agli stessi oggetti.
