Anubis Attended Isis Ministers Nephthys Osiris
EDITORS COMMENTS
"Anubis, the Egyptian god with the distinctive head of a jackal, is depicted ministering to the mummified form of Osiris, the god of the afterlife and the underworld. Osiris lies on a funerary bed, surrounded by his consort Isis and his sister-wife Nephthys. Anubis holds the embalming tools of the dead in his hands, signifying his role as the god of mummification and the protector of graves. This powerful image is a poignant representation of the Egyptian belief in the continuity of life after death. Osiris, who was believed to have been murdered and dismembered by his brother Set, was later resurrected and became the king of the underworld. Anubis, as the god of mummification, played a crucial role in the preservation of the body and the soul of the deceased, ensuring their safe passage to the afterlife. Isis and Nephthys, the goddesses of magic and fertility, are shown attending to Osiris, offering him sustenance and protection. Isis, in particular, was revered for her wisdom and her ability to restore the dead to life, making her an essential figure in the Egyptian funerary rites. This image, with its rich symbolism and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the complex and fascinating world of ancient Egyptian religion and mythology. The use of a brown background adds a sense of depth and mystery, further enhancing the otherworldly atmosphere of the scene." Mary Evans Picture Library/Mary Evans Prints Online.
