Anubis Reclining Statue - Made in Egypt

This statue portrays the bust of Anubis, or Anpu, the Egyptian God of Mummification. Anubis is credited with inventing mummification and is the protector of the deceased. He is represented with the head of a jackal or simply as a jackal, who opened the road to other words and presided over embalming ceremonies. After a funeral, Anubis would take the deceased by the hand and introduce them to 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 the 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 was also the guardian of the Sacred Esoteric Mysteries.
