Canopic Box Of Nesaarud. 25th-early 26th Dynasties. (680-600 BCE). Probably from [Thebes](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Thebes/), [Egypt](https://www.worldhistory.org/egypt/). From the [Middle Kingdom](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Middle_Kingdom/) onwards (about 2040-1650 BCE), canopic jars were sometimes stored in boxes. Here, the Sons of [Horus](https://www.worldhistory.org/Horus/) are depicted on each side. Each son is portrayed with a goddess who is purifying him. [Neith](https://www.worldhistory.org/Neith/) - distinguishable in her red crown - pours water on the jackal-headed Duamutef.
