The finds found in Egyptian tombs can be divided into three main categories: the indispensable funeral furnishings, created specifically for the tomb, such as the sarcophagus, canopic jars, the ushabti, etc .; objects of daily life, transferred from the earthly house to the "eternal" of the necropolis; reproductions and miniaturization of the furnishings in common use.
These five jars in faience, leaning to a single quadrangular base and configured according to different vascular types, belong to the last of the three categories mentioned.
