Tutankhamun's tomb

The Canopic Shrine of Tutankhamun consisted of four miniature mummy-shaped gold sarcophagi in which the embalmed internal organs were preserved. They were inserted in the four compartments of the alabaster canopic chest and were covered with beautiful stoppers in the shape of the king's head. The chest is embraced at the four corners with raised relief of the protector goddesses: Isis, Nephthys, Sereket, and Neith. The alabaster chest was kept within a gilded and decorated wooden shrine standing upon a sledge and also protected at each of the four sides by a statue of one of the four goddesses: Isis, Nephthys, Sereket, and Neith.
