- From card: "The lid represents head of a falcon, Kabh-snewef -- protector of the liver, gall, and bladder." But looks more like a jackal (Duamutef / Tuamutef, protector of the stomach) than a falcon (Qebehsenuef)." Note re photos: color digital negative # 2005-33140 is shot of four canopic jars, Catalogue Nos. 289288-91, together in one shot.
- Inscription: same as catalog number 289288 except first words are "The Osiris Imsety." Jar 289291 is Imsety, correct lid is 289288
- From NMNH Exhibit Hall "Eternal Life in Ancient Egypt" label for this artifact, 2011: Canopic jar (cast), 945-712 BC. Containers like this held the deceased's lungs, stomach, liver, and intestines. The correct lid represents one of the four sons of Horus - Imseti (human) - who stood guard over the organs.
