The "Canopic jars" featured in the Ramses the Great exhibition in Toyosu, Tokyo, are internal organ containers used in ancient Egyptian mummification. This one, Imsety, was used to preserve the liver. Size: Approximately 7cm tall 【About Canopic Jars】 ・When making a mummy, the internal organs (liver, lungs, stomach, intestines) were removed from the body and placed in their respective Canopic jars for preservation. ・The lids of the jars from the New Kingdom period were symbolically carved with the four sons of Horus (Imsety, Hapi, Qebehsenuef, and Duamutef). The organs in the jars were protected by powerful gods, and the jars themselves were decorated to pray for the safety and resurrection of the deceased at the time of burial. ・The Canopic jar merchandise at the Ramses the Great exhibition is popular as a souvenir, with each jar's lid, form, and the faces of each god being unique.
