Egyptian

Canopic jar with the head of Imsety, used to contain the liver of the deceased, inscribed with four columns of hieroglyphs that have been picked out in dark blue-grey pigment, identifying the owner as ‘Henat, the Priest and scribe of the temple of Ptah, born to Ta-Shert-Ihet.’
Although at this period all canopic jars had human heads, the text makes it clear that this one represents the only Son of Horus who was human-headed, Imsety, and would have contained Henat's embalmed liver. Henat's titles are 'god's father' and 'god's servant' (both priestly titles), and 'scribe of the god's book of the House of Ptah', the last suggesting that Henat worked in the temple of Ptah in Memphis. Because of his office in the temple of Ptah, the owner is most likely to have been a junior member of a very well-known family of high-ranking priests from the Late Period who served at Memphis. They included the rather unusual name Henat in more than one generation, and were buried at Saqqara. Intact, the pigment enhanced in recent years. Analysis shows modern paint in the inscriptions, consistent with strengthening an ancient painted inscription.

The text is read from right to left. Translation:
1:  Words spoken by Isis: "I seize the enemy, I give protection to Imsety
2:  who is in me. The protection of the God's Father, Priest, Scribe of the temple of Ptah, Henat born to
3:  Ta-shert-ihet, true of voice, is the protection of Imsety. The Osiris, God's Father, Priest, Scribe of the Temple of Ptah
4:  Henat born to Ta-shert-ihet, true of voice, is Imsety".

Ptah was the creator god of Memphis, and patron of craftsmen and architects, indeed he is credited with inventing masonry. At the beginning of time, it was his breath that gave life to all gods on earth.
