ANUBIS:

ANUBIS is the Egyptian god of mummification and the afterlife as well as the patron god of lost souls and the helpless. He is one of the oldest gods of Egypt, who most likely developed from the earlier (and much older) jackal god Wepwawet with whom he is often confused. 

Anubis’ image is seen on royal tombs from the First Dynasty of Egypt (c. 3150-2890 BCE) but it is certain he had already developed a cult following prior to this period in order to be invoked on the tomb’s walls for protection. He is thought to have developed in response to wild dogs and jackals digging up newly buried corpses at some point in the Predynastic Period in Egypt (c. 6000-3150 BCE) as the Egyptians believed a powerful canine god was the best protection against wild canines.

I just laughed like an idiot when I saw this. I am sure that Anubis appreciates a good-bad joke or pun. Besides, they made him look adorable!

Realized that I had somewhat inadvertently created a casual shrine for the Asyutian ‘triad’ on my mantelpiece. Wepwawet, his consort Hetheru of Medjed, and Anup. They were statues I already had but ones which weren’t being formally used in my shrine area so I put them out on display.
