The ancient legend of Anubis:

Anubis is an important god in ancient Egyptian mythology, usually depicted as a god with a human body and a dog head. Anubis is regarded as the god of death and the guardian of the dead, responsible for guiding the souls of the dead into the afterlife and weighing their hearts at the trial to determine their fate.

This is a bronze Anubis statue that our artists have cast for clients.

In the ancient Egyptian belief system, Anubis’s main responsibilities include:

Guiding the dead: Anubis is considered a guide for the dead, helping them through their journey through the underworld.

Weighing of the heart: In the “Judgment of the Heart” ceremony, Anubis would weigh the heart of the dead against a feather (symbolizing justice) to judge their good and evil in life. If the heart is lighter than the feather, the dead could enter paradise; if it is heavy, it would be swallowed.

Protecting the body: Anubis was also responsible for protecting the body and the mummification process to ensure the resurrection of the deceased in the afterlife.

Anubis is usually black, symbolizing soil and rebirth, which is closely related to the ancient Egyptians’ understanding of death and rebirth. He occupies an important position in ancient Egyptian culture and often appears in tombs, temple murals, and sculptures.
