This statue portrays Anubis, the ancient Egyptian God of the Underworld. Anubis is credited with inventing mummification and is the protector of the deceased.
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 embalming ceremonies. 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.
Experience ancient Egyptian culture and see how life flourished along the banks of the Nile in Auckland Museum's exhibition - Egypt: In the Time of Pharaohs.
Made in Cairo, Egypt
