Canopic Shrine of Tutankhamun
The impressive shrine for canopic vases was found in the Treasure Room of the tomb with an alabaster container inside. The shrine, fixed onto a sled, has a canopy formed by four corner pillars that hold up a roof crowned with a frieze of uraeus serpents and the sun disk, while a second frieze is on the roof of the shrine itself. The inscriptions on the pillars give the names and titles of the pharaohs.
Four goddesses with open arms watch over the organs of the sovereign. They are identified by the hieroglyphs on their heads and the low reliefs of the sanctuary walls. Each goddess faces and is associated with one of the four children of Horus whose duty was to preserve the king's organs: the goddess Isis watches over the liver with Imset, Nephthys the lungs with Hapi, Neith the stomach with Duamutef and Selket the intestines with Qebehsenuf.
Characteristics typical of the art of Amarna can be seen in the slight rotation of the statues' heads (compared to the frontal tradition of Egyptian statuary), the long neck stretching forwards, and the naturalistic modeling of the bodies.
