History of Anubis

Anubis was one of the major funerary deities of ancient Egypt. He was closely associated with cemeteries, embalming, mummification, and the protection of the deceased. Ancient Egyptian art commonly portrayed him either as a canine or jackal-like animal or as a man with a canine head.

His connection with burial grounds helped establish him as an important guardian of tombs and the dead.

Anubis remained an important figure in Egyptian funerary religion for centuries and appeared extensively on coffins, papyri, amulets, tomb decorations, and ritual objects.

Anubis and Mummification

One of Anubis’s most important roles was his association with the embalming and preservation of the dead.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art identifies Anubis as the god of embalming and notes his role as a protector of the necropolis.

Ancient Egyptian funerary beliefs placed enormous importance on preserving the body because successful preparation of the deceased was closely connected with hopes for continued existence in the afterlife.

Images of Anubis therefore frequently appeared in scenes showing funerary rituals and the preparation of the deceased.

The Turquoise Anubis Statue draws inspiration from this important aspect of ancient Egyptian religious tradition.

Anubis and the Weighing of the Heart

Anubis also played a significant role in the famous ancient Egyptian judgment scene known as the Weighing of the Heart.

In representations of this ceremony, Anubis is shown attending or adjusting the scales during the judgment of the deceased. The heart was weighed in relation to the principle of truth and order represented by Maat.

The result of this judgment was connected with whether the deceased could successfully continue into the afterlife.

This scene became one of the most recognizable images in ancient Egyptian funerary art and reinforced Anubis’s importance as a guardian and guide associated with the journey after death.

Anubis as Protector of the Dead

Anubis was not simply associated with death. He was also considered a protector of graves and the deceased.

Ancient Egyptian funerary amulets sometimes represented Anubis because of his protective role over the mummy and burial place.

His canine imagery may have been influenced by the observation of jackals and other wild canids around desert burial grounds. Ancient Egyptians transformed this potentially threatening association into the image of a powerful divine guardian.

For modern collectors, an Anubis sculpture can therefore carry symbolism connected with:

• Protection
• Guardianship
• The afterlife
• Mummification
• Funerary traditions
• Ancient Egyptian spirituality
• Transformation
• Egyptian mythology

The Turquoise and Blue-Green Connection

Blue-green colors held significant symbolic meaning in ancient Egyptian art.

The Metropolitan Museum notes that blue-green coloration could have regenerative significance and explains its frequent use in funerary equipment.

The turquoise-colored appearance of this statue therefore works beautifully with the visual language commonly associated with ancient Egyptian-inspired decorative art.

The Turquoise Anubis Statue offers a striking combination of recognizable Egyptian symbolism and distinctive color.

Anubis in Ancient Egyptian Art

Representations of Anubis appeared in several forms.

He could be portrayed as:

• A full canine or jackal-like animal
• A human figure with a canine head
• A recumbent jackal positioned on a shrine
• A deity participating in funerary rituals
• A guardian associated with tombs and embalming

The Metropolitan Museum preserves examples of Anubis represented as a recumbent canine as well as objects showing his role in embalming and funerary protection.

These different representations helped make Anubis one of the most visually recognizable figures from ancient Egyptian religion.
