Anubis Deity Divinity Jackal Memphis Mythological Mythology Ritual Sculpted
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning relief showcases the ancient Egyptian deity Anubis, the god of mummification and the afterlife. Anubis is depicted in his classic form with a jackal head, symbolizing his association with the wild desert landscapes of Egypt, as well as his role as a protector and guide in the underworld. The relief is a testament to the rich artistic tradition of ancient Egypt, and dates back to the Ptolemaic period (332-30 BC). It was discovered at the Mit Rahina Open Air Museum in Memphis, the ancient capital city of Egypt located south of Cairo. Anubis was one of the most widely revered deities in ancient Egyptian religion, and was often invoked in rituals and offerings to ensure a successful transition into the afterlife. His image was also commonly placed on funerary objects, such as sarcophagi and amulets, to protect and guide the deceased. This relief, with its intricate details and masterful execution, offers a glimpse into the complex mythological beliefs and artistic sensibilities of ancient Egyptian civilization.
