Sarcophagus and canopic jars of Sheshonq II
The hawk-headed sarcophagus has hands, applied externally, clenched into fists to hold Osiriac sceptres. The lid is decorated with winged deities. In the centre, a vertical inscription divides the field of figures in two: in the lower area, the figures of the four sons of Horo stand out in facing pairs. The viscera containers are miniature sarcophagi depicting the image of the ruler with the nemes and royal uraeus on his head, a false beard and made-up eyes. Along the body a vertical inscription identifies the four genii as sons of Horo.
