The eye markings have a finely textured matte surface not noted in the catalogue description.

The three other Canopic jars of Princess Tasheretenaset (a.k.a. Tashenesi) are each in a different European museum: Imsety is in the Hermitage, Saint Petersburg, inv. no. 808 (W. Golénischeff, Ermitage impérial. Inventaire de la collection impériale, Saint Petersburg, 1891, pp. 117-118), Duamutef in the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, Leiden, inv. no. R.55 (P.A.A. Boeser, Beschrijving van de Egyptische Verzameling, vol. 13, La Haye, 1926, p. 8), and Hapy in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, Queen’s College loan, no. 325. 

Herodotus (3.1) tells the story of how King Amasis incurred the wrath of Cambyses by pretending to send his own daughter to him as a bride. This spelled the end of Amasis's reign and the beginning of Persian domination over Egypt.

For a very similar example but uninscribed cf. Sotheby's, New York, December 7th, 1998, no. 44.
