Canopic Stopper

Canopic Stopper of Tutankhamun

Tutankhamun's canopic chest had four compartments, and each had a lid in the shape of the king's head. He wears a royal nemes headdress with a vulture and cobra (uraeus). Some scholars have questioned whether the facial features indicate a previous ruler, but Tutankhamun's name on the exterior appears original. Dynasty 18, reign of Tutankhamun 1332-1322 BCE
