Terracotta canopic urn 6th century B.C. Etruscan, Chiusi or environs Long after inhumation became widespread, the people of Chiusi and surrounding hamlets continued to cremate their dead. They deposited the ashes in anthropomorphizing urns, often equipped with articulated arms, jewelry, wigs, and even clothing. The lids of these urns represent a stylized portrait of the deceased. Earlier examples, especially those for warriors, were often topped with a bronze or clay helmet.. Terracotta canopic urn. Etruscan, Chiusi or environs. 6th century B.C.. Terracotta. Archaic.

New Kingdom A number of foundation deposit of the Deir el-Bahri temple contained a number of ointment jars most with remains of the original content (plant or animal fat and fragrances). The presence of such items made sure that the sacred images of the temple could be eternally anointed as prescribed in the daily temple ritual. The text on this jar reads: "Daughter of Re, Hatshepsut, she has made it as an offering for her father Amun at the time of the stretching of the cord over Djeser-djeseru-Amun, that she may be made to live." Djeser-djeseru-Amun was the name of her temple at Deir el-Bahri.. Ointment Jar 544464Cup Made 1724 Staffordshire. Earthenware with slipware decoration .

On the left side of each pair, Wrinkle Face, a fanged anthropomorphic figure with wrinkles, snake earspools, a feline headdress, and a snake-headed belt, sits on a throne. On the right side, Iguana, the anthropomorphized lizard, wears a bird headdress. While Wrinkle Face raises a hand with a pointed index finger, Iguana joins both hands in an attitude of veneration. Throughout Moche history, the two companions were portrayed in a wide range of complex scenes, such as burial ceremonies, "bean and stick" ceremonies interpreted as games or rituals surrounding agricultural activities, and combats with supernatural creatures.
