Anubis - Ancient Egyptian God of Mummification and the Afterlife #3853161 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line illustration depicts Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god associated with mummification, the afterlife, and necropolis protection. He is shown in traditional attire with a jackal head, wearing a tripartite wig and kilt, holding the ankh (symbol of life) in one hand and a was-scepter (symbol of power) in the other. Above him float hieroglyphs-including a bird (likely a Ba soul) and a wavy line (representing water or chaos)-reinforcing his divine authority over transition and judgment.
