Cleveland Museum of Art

The object shown is a stone canopic jar lid with a man's head. The lid is made of beige stone with darker brown bands around it. The man's head is carved to depict a human with a smooth, rounded skull. The face is carved with a slight smile and almond-shaped eyes that are closed. The nose is straight and proportional to the rest of the face. The ears are visible on the sides of the head. The head has a beard that extends to the chest. The base of the lid is cylindrical and darker in color than the rest of the object. The background of the image is gray.
