Anubis Pins and Buttons
Description: Anubis is the Greek name of a god associated with mummification and the afterlife in ancient Egyptian religion, usually depicted as a dog or a man with a canine (jackal) head. Depicted as a protector of graves as early as the First Dynasty (c. 3100 – c. 2890 BC), Anubis was also an embalmer. By the Middle Kingdom (c. 2055 – 1650 BC) he was replaced by Osiris in his role as lord of the underworld. One of his prominent roles was as a god who ushered souls into the afterlife. He attended the weighing scale during the “Weighing of the Heart,” in which it was determined whether a soul would be allowed to enter the realm of the dead.
