I found different sources providing a variety of dimensions so I'll note them down here:

Universal Studios Mummy 1999 Lion Canopic Jar Prop Replica RARE Limited Promo | #3821562323)
4. 1 of the 125 Limited Edition Lion Head Jars made. This is the first of 3 made for colour approval prior to production. These were also made out of original casts. These also do not have the felt bottom and the paint job also seems a bit more vibrant than the other 2.
Dimensions Provided: 9" tall and 3.5"wide

Rare 1999 The Mummy movie Canopic Jar that held Organs PROP 1 of 3 Color Proofs | #1880128290)
Note: As you can see there were a variety of dimensions, this sucked cuz I was unsure who to trust but thankfully I found 2 sources with pictures taken of the jars up against a ruler (unless someone's using a faulty ruler I think I'm good)
5. Falcon Jar sold on the Prop Store. This jar seems to be shorter than the others but this is probably due to the falcon head itself being shorter than the lion.
Bottom Half: 5.5 inches
Dimensions Provided: 9 cm x 9 cm x 20 cm (3½” x 3½” x 8”)

MUMMY, THE - Henderson’s (Stephen Dunham) Canopic Jar)
6. I found this batch of images too but I can't remember where I got them from and reverse google images isn't being helpful either.
Full Jar with Lion Head: 8.5 inches
Bottom Half: 5.5 inches
I was able to determine that 8.5 inches was the height of the bottom half of the jar, from here I could find the dimensions of all the other elements. I printed out the image(to scale) of the frontal Lion headed Jar as it was the most centred image I could find with minimal parallax. This was one of my main references when it came to making the jars.
thanks for stopping by!
