Each canopic jar would have been meticulously carved from a solid block of granite, a hard and durable stone that symbolized permanence and endurance. The jars would have been large in size, typically standing several feet tall, with a wide cylindrical body and a narrow neck. The lids of the jars would have been intricately designed to resemble the heads of the four protective deities known as the Four Sons of Horus.
The surface of the canopic jars would have been adorned with ancient hieroglyphics, which were inscribed using precise and skilled techniques. The hieroglyphics would have conveyed important information about the deceased, such as their name, titles, and prayers for protection and eternal life. These inscriptions were not only decorative but also held great religious and symbolic significance in ancient Egyptian belief.
The hieroglyphics themselves would have been deeply carved into the granite surface, allowing them to stand out and be easily visible. The carvings would have been carefully executed, reflecting the mastery of the ancient Egyptian artisans who created them. The hieroglyphics may have been painted with vibrant colors, although over time, these colors may have faded or worn away.
