The lid of a Canopic Jar of Tutankhamun.

 Alabaster stopper from Tutankhamun’s canopic jar which contained the king’s organ removed during mummification. The alabaster canopic chest is considered to be one of the finest masterpieces of Tutankhamun’s collection. The interior of the chest is divided into four compartments, each with a cylindrical hollow covered by a lid elegantly carved in the form of the king’s head.

From the Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62), Valley of the Kings, West Thebes. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. 



Model Boat of Tutankhamun.

This is one of eighteen model boats that were found in the treasury of the Tomb of Tutankhamun. The fleet was to be used by the king on his journey beyond the grave and consequently, the boats were all facing west to indicate the direction of travel.

The boat is fitted with sails and shrouds and has a central cabin and housing at either end decorated with images of a bull and a sphinx. This type of boat was used to make pilgrimages to the holy city of Abydos, the cult centre of the god Osiris.

Tutankhamun’s Lotus Chalice.

This alabaster chalice in the form of a lotus is decorated with a whorl of circles and sepals in low relief. The handle is a lotus flower and bud supporting with god Heh, the symbol of eternal life.

The cup bears the names and titles of King Tutankhamun. The text around the rim expresses wishes for the king to live millions of years and to enjoy great happiness.

Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo.
