Canopic Jar with Jackal's Head (lid)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a small, beige-colored stone or ceramic jar lid with the head of a jackal, crafted in an ancient Egyptian style. The jackal's head is shown in profile, facing left. Two pointed ears protrude from the top of the head. The lid has a smooth texture and exhibits darker brown and black spots and lines, possibly due to age or wear. A dark shadow is visible beneath the lid, and the background transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. By artist Amun.
