grandegyptianmuseum:



Relief depicting Anubis as a Roman legionary preparing the mummy of the deceased, 2nd century AD. Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa.


Archaeological site located in Alexandria, Egypt and is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages. Merges Greek, Roman and Egyptian iconography.



Notice also Horus holding up burning resin in a censer to the left and the canopic jars under the lion “bed” wearing Osiris’ two plume white crown – emphasizing the connection to Osiris – and the feather of Ma’at held by the front claw of the lion. On the right side stands Djehuty holding an ointment jar (only the tip of His beak and the ointment jar is visible on this picture).
