Title	Canopic jar; French reproduction of an ancient vessel
Description	4.5 round x 7.25 tall' ; slate hydrostone; The canopic jar, an Egyptian vessel for the preservation of the internal organs of the mummy after embalming, was typically kept in a shrine protected by the gods of the underworld. Reproduced from a bronze original, this piece represents the Egyptian revival in decorative arts of the Empire period in France. Napoleon's invasion of Egypt in 1798 led to an awareness of ancient art, encourgaging motifs to be incorporated in the furniture and decorative arts of France during the 19th century.
