A weathered, orange-brown canopic jar lid shaped like a human face. The facial features are simple and worn, with visible eyes, a nose, and a slightly curved mouth. The surface appears rough, showing signs of age and erosion. A small scale in the foreground indicates the lid’s size, suggesting it is a relatively small artefact. Add to board
