I received four Canopic Jars recently. In trying to ID them I am unable to find out who one is. Everything I have found states they are, falcon, man, baboon, jackal. Well, I have one that is a Rams head instead of a baboon. I have seen some pics of repros that show this guy but no idea who he is, and how he came to replace the baboon. Any ideas?
Khnum perhaps?
Maybe not.
Here you go: a set of four Canopic Jars featuring the falcon-headed god Horus, Anubis the jackal, Imsety, guardian of the west, and Amon the ram.
Apparently Canopic Jars are not always the four sons of Horus.
If you have a set of five, the one you don’t recognize is Gummo.
Shemp was always my favorite.
