Anubis Reclining. Anubis, God of the Dead, represented with a jackal, opened the road to the other world and presided over embalmments. 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. When the body was embalmed, a priest wearing a jackal mask acted as Anubis's representative. The origin of this God lay in the fact that jackals could be heard howling in the desert to the west of the Nile at sunset-at the time when burials took place. Made from resin with hand painted gold and color details, gold base and measures 3.75"L x 2.5"W.
