Mummy Osiris in a Silver Mask
"Maize mummy Osiris with silver mask" is a unique sacrificial object in ancient Egypt. These mummies are usually made using corn cobs or corn kernels, symbolizing harvest and rebirth. During the production process, the ancient Egyptians decorated the corn cobs in a mummy-like shape, wrapped them in linen, and then put a silver mask on the head to represent Osiris (Osiris), the god of the underworld in Egyptian mythology. Osiris played an important role in ancient Egyptian religion, where he was considered the patron saint of the dead and a symbol of resurrection. By making such corn mummies, the ancient Egyptians hoped to pray for a good harvest and the continuation of life.
Canopic jar from ancient Egypt
It is a ceramic or stone container used in ancient Egyptian funeral customs to preserve the internal organs of the deceased. In the mummification process of ancient Egypt, the heart was considered the dwelling place of the soul and therefore remained in the body, while other internal organs were removed and stored separately in canopic jars to prevent the body from rotting. These jars are usually accompanied by four different head sculptures representing the four guardian gods of ancient Egyptian mythology, namely the Kanopik god: Imseti with a human head, Hapi with a baboon head, Douamutiv with a jackal head, and Kebshannav with a falcon head. Each god guards a specific organ: the liver, lungs, stomach, and intestines.
