In Ancient Egypt there have been many iconic pieces of art. Whether it'd be intentional or not. All over Egypt there are spectacular wonders of the world and phenomenal pieces of art. Architecture, Jewelry or Hieroglyphics, but one that stands out in the world of ceramics is the Canopic Jars. The Canopic Jars were used by the ancient Egyptians during the mummification process. The Jars during the mummification process were used to store and preserve the viscera of their owner for the afterlife. They were commonly either carved from limestone or were made of pottery. I do not believe that the Jars were made to intentionally be seen as a piece of art, but as something sacred and religious.
