Canopic jar of Nephthys ca. 1981-1802 B.C. Middle Kingdom This Middle Kingdom canopic jar belongs to a set of four (11.150.17b-e), which were used to contain the viscera removed from the body during mummification. These four jars belong very probably to the burial of a mayors daughter called Nephthys (for her mummy, see 11.150.15c, and for her two coffins, see 11.150.15a, b). In earlier periods, canopic jars had simple disc-shaped or hemispherical lids.

Figure of Ptah-Sokar-Osiris. Dimensions: H. 51.7 cm (20 3/8 in.); W. 24.5 cm (9 5/8 in.); D. 31.5 cm (12 3/8 in.). Date: 332-30 B.C..This mummiform figure represents the funerary deity Ptah-Sokar-Osiris. On his head are two ostrich plumes, hieroglyphs for maat (the proper order of the Egyptian cosmos), a sun disk, and two horns. The inscription down the center of the body tells us the figure was made for a priest of Osiris whose name is unfortunately effaced. The inscription continues on the back, where the name of the owner's father, the priest of Osiris Padiaabehdet, is preserved.The pedestal on which the figure stands is partially hollow, and contains a linen-wrapped object that might be a roll of papyrus inscribed with spells to assist the owner in his afterlife, or alternatively a mummified animal. On the lid that covers the opening into the base is the protective deity Sopdu in the form of a mummified hawk. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Maskette Tsimshian or Tlingit, Native American ca. 1780-1830 Pacific Northwest clan leaders hold potlatch ceremonies to renew their social status through a costly feast and gift exchange. Traditionally, the host would accumulate food, clothing, and trade goods, such as marine shells and copper, and commission specialized artists to create dance masks to further display this wealth. This ritual maskette or frontlet is pierced around the edges to affix it to a headdress assemblage. The blindingly white teeth are made of highly valued opercula, a hard plug that allows the marine mollusk to close its shell. The masks pointy nose may reference the beak of a bird or the mouth of an octopus. View more. Maskette. Tsimshian or Tlingit, Native American. ca. 1780-1830. Wood, copper, shell, and pigment.
