A set of four canopic jars was an important element of the burial in most periods of Ancient Egyptian history. Canopic jars were containers in which the separately mummified organs would be placed. The best known versions of these jars have lids in the shape of the heads of protective deities called the four Sons of Horus. The human-headed Imsety was the guardian of the liver; the baboon-headed Hapy looked after the lungs; the jackal-headed Duamutef was responsible for the stomach; and the falcon-headed Qebehsenuef cared for the intestines.

This winged feline (500–400 B.C.) originally served as the front leg of a wooden chair or throne. Felines were popular in the art of many Mediterranean and Near Eastern cultures. Certain stylistic features of this piece, as well as the manner in which it was made from separate pieces of bronze joined together, suggest that this work was created in Spain, specifically in the kingdom of Tartessos. The form of the feline's brow is a Tartessian characteristic, as is the triangle design in the creature's ear. Image by Getty Museum.
