SANU: Anubis Wall Hanging Ceramic (5 3/4" x 11") Anubis, or Anpu was the son of Nephthys. He was depicted as a jackal, or as a jackal-headed man; in early times he was probably simply the jackal god. Anubis was worshipped under the name Wepuat (Opener of the Ways) as the conductor of the souls of the dead to their judgement & monitor of the Scales of Truth. Anubis was worshipped as the inventor of embalming, having embalmed the dead Osiris, & preserving him in order to live again. This wall plaque is part of a series of Egyptian deity images created according to the representations in Wallis Budge's Gods of the Egyptians (see Statue section for complete line). Perfect for the practices of invocational magick, the assumption of god forms, & the devotional practices described in the A.'. A.'.?s Liber Astarte vel Berylli. Handcrafted of hydrostone clay with felted back & an attached wall hanger. The gold painted figure stands in slight relief against a black painted background. Use as wall decoration or, with a small stand, makes a great addition to your altar. Approx. 5?" wide x 11" long.
