A painted limestone canopic jar with a human-faced lid wearing a distinctive ceremonial headdress.

The image shows a cylindrical canopic jar of light-colored stone with a domed/broad lid shaped like a deity’s head. The figure has a stylized human face with downturned, painted eye details and a small mouth. The headpiece/headdress is visible at the top, with a blue-green painted band and other color accents, suggesting a formal funerary presentation. The jar body is mostly unpainted except for the lid’s painted features; a central worn area on the front indicates a damaged or abraded patch. No clear hieroglyphic inscriptions, cartouches, or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text are visible in the provided view. The overall style and funerary iconography are consistent with a canopic container representing one of the Four Sons of Horus; however, the specific attribution to Duamutef cannot be confirmed from this image alone because the relevant distinguishing inscriptions/marks are not legible.
