Small Anubis coffin
with mummy inside:
The coffin is shaped
as a mummiform Anubis
figure, arms crossed
on the chest holding
ankhs, the Egyptian
symbol of life. The
Egyptians didn't
worship the animals,
but the forces of
nature that they
symbolized. Anubis,
God of the Dead,
represented with a
head of a jackal or
simply as a jackal
opened the road to
the other world and
presided over
embalmments. After a
funeral, Anubis would
take the deceased by
the hand and
introduce him into
the presence of the
sovereign judges
where the soul of the
deceased would be
weighed. Anubis was
the Guardian of
Offerings brought to
the ceremony by heirs
of the deceased and
he also guarded the
mummy from evil
forces in the night.
When the body was
embalmed, a priest
wearing a jackal mask
acted as Anubis's
representative. He
also was the guardian
of the Sacred
Esoteric Mysteries.
The origin of this
God lay in the fact
that jackals could be
heard howling in the
desert to the west of
the Nile at sunset-at
the time when burials
took place.
