This black-and-white line drawing depicts a canonical scene from ancient Egyptian funerary practice: the god Anubis, with his jackal head and striped kilt, carefully wraps or anoints a mummified body laid on a lion-legged bier. Above, the Ba-a human-headed bird-holds the ankh, signifying the soul’s vitality and its journey to the afterlife. The image reflects theological concepts central to the Book of the Dead and mortuary cults of the New Kingdom.
