Canopic vessels are vessels in which internal organs removed from the body during mummification were stored. They were placed in separate vessels (as a rule, there were four such vessels) and buried together with the mummified body. This canopy is devoid of inscriptions, but the stylistic features of this thing allow us to attribute it to the Amarna era. Analysis of objects from the tomb shows that the sarcophagus intended for a woman was used for the burial of Smenkhkare, the heir of Akhenaten, who died at a young age. The canopy is believed to have been made for Meritaten, the eldest daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti.

Some see in her the portrait features of Meritaten, others suggest that this is Kiya, the lady who appeared with Akhenaten in the last years of his life, at a time when the traces of Nefertiti are finally lost in history. The style suggests that the product was made in Amarna and imported to Thebes for burial. Exceptionally fine work on alabaster, excellent detailing of hair and a wide multi-row necklace, lively eyes inlaid with obsidian give the image a special expressiveness. On the wig, you can see a hole intended for fastening the uraeus.
