Terracotta canopic jar with a separate lid shaped as a human/royal head with upright ear-like projections and a plain face.

The image shows a pottery canopic jar body with a rounded, tapering form and a stained, brownish surface. The top has a fitted lid that resembles a head with a simplified face and two prominent, upright side projections consistent with a stylized male head or wig/ears. No clearly legible painted decoration or extensive carved relief is visible. The jar surface shows age-related discoloration and small losses or abrasions. No hieroglyphic text, cartouches, or Greek/Coptic/Arabic inscriptions are clearly readable in the provided view. The lid and body appear to be made from the same ceramic material, consistent with a marl/pottery canopic container.
