Vaso canópico e tampa

New Kingdom, Amarna Period

Tebas, Vale dos Reis, tumba KV 55

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 136

Este recipiente soberbo para órgãos foi encontrado—junto com outros três, agora no Cairo—na tumba 55 do Vale dos Reis, entre um conjunto heteróclito de objetos funerários feitos por membros da família de Akhenaton. O nome que aparece nos quatro vasos, meio apagado, mas decifrado por pesquisadores, é o da rainha Kiya, esposa secundária de Akhenaton. As tampas, que não se encaixam muito bem, talvez não tenham pertencido originalmente a estes vasos.
