This stone, lime stone, is a two piece is of Imsety who had a human head.
Imsety was Imsety jars carried and protected the liver.
The Canopic jars stored the organs of the departed.

A strange piece for sure, old with a wonderful patina and wear. The jar is not hollow as you would expect, appears to be unfinished, started and never finished.
Appears to be a late period Dynasty of Egyptian Burial Practice.

Most fake or reproductions will not have the first the age of this piece and second, most copies will not be made of stone and also would not be two pieces like this one.
The weight is approx 30 or more pounds.

The jar and head are a two piece, as are the originals. Also the late dynasty Canopic jars were also made of Lime stone like this one. The base is tapered Conical shape and the head has the finished insert to create a tighter fit into the jar.
