More Info

Reproduced from a 19th Dynasty, 1500 B.C. original from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, this striking image of a jackal, the signature animal of Anubis, Egyptian God of the Dead, is mounted on a marble base to stand on a table, hall console or desk. Pair with our Amun-Ra Ram head (pictured at left), or buy a pair for a striking set of bookends!

MYTHOLOGY: 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 the embalming ceremony. 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 a representative to Anubis. The god's connection with the jackal came about because jackals could be heard howling in the desert to the west of the Nile at sunset--the time when burials took place--and thus the jackal became associated with burial ceremonies and the god of the dead.
