Anubis, the Egyptian god of mummification and the afterlife, reigned over the dead according to the records of Egypt’s Old Kingdom. This Keeper of Divine Justice is brought to life in a new statue from ARH Studios. Sculpted digitally by Alex Pereira, this jackal-headed deity stands 14 1/2″ tall in 1/7-scale. Limited to 500 pieces worldwide, Anubis comes painted.
Anubis is the Greek name for a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in Egyptian mythology. In the ancient Egyptian language, Anubis is known as Inpu, (variously spelled Anupu, Ienpw etc.). The oldest known mention of Anubis is in the Old Kingdom pyramid texts, where he is associated with the burial of the Pharaoh. At this time, Anubis was the most important god of the Dead but he was replaced during the Middle Kingdom by Osiris.
He takes names in connection with his funerary role, such as He who is upon his mountain, which underscores his importance as a protector of the deceased and their tombs, and the title He who is in the place of embalming, associating him with the process of mummification. Like many ancient Egyptian deities, Anubis assumes different roles in various contexts, and no public procession in Egypt would be conducted without an Anubis to march at the head.
