Sculpture
This fragment of carved stone was once part of the decorative walls of a tomb for an Egyptian man called Metetu, who is pictured seated at the top left corner of the block. The hieroglyph signs in the top row of the fragment spell out his name and his position. They tell us that Metetu worked in the “great house,” or the king’s court, as a metalworker.
Tomb carvings from Metetu’s time used colorful scenes from daily life to illustrate the sources of the food offerings required by the dead. The bottom row of this fragment shows two men, identified as “guardians of the flock.” The man on the right holds the horn of a valuable long-horned cow, while the hieroglyphs around his head tell of “bringing the fattened calf” from the farm known as “Keth.”

During the process of mummification, the embalmer removed four major internal organs—the liver, lungs, stomach, and intestines. He mummified these organs separately and placed them in special containers called canopic jars. The lid of each jar represented one of a group of gods called “the Four Sons of Horus.”
The human-headed god Imsety guarded the liver. The baboon-headed god Hapi watched over the lungs. The jackal-headed god Duamutef was in charge of the stomach. The falcon-headed god Qebhsenuef protected the intestines.

Ancient Egyptians believed that ornamented masks and body coverings as well as sacred texts could magically protect the mummy in the afterlife. This mask is made of cartonnage, a material of plaster and linen similar to papier-mâché. In ancient Egypt, these cartonnage forms, frequently ornamented and painted with depictions of gods and goddesses, were placed on the body after it was mummified. These images, along with hymns and texts from the Book of the Dead, protected the mummy in the afterlife in the same way as the decoration on anthropoid coffins.

Amulets are small objects that represent gods, goddesses, and symbols of rebirth. Made of bronze, clay, or stone, they offered the wearer sacred protection both in the world of the living and in the afterlife. Ancient Egyptians wore amulets as jewelry
during life; priests would also place amulets within the wrappings of a mummy as they prepared it for burial. Certain amulets were placed in specific locations on the mummy, such as over the heart, the throat, or the incision on the abdomen.
The wedjat-eye represents the eye of the god Horus and is a powerful symbol of healing, rebirth, and protection.
