EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Anubis ministering to Osiris on his bier: at the head kneels Nephthys and at the feet Isis" transports us back to ancient Egypt, where gods and goddesses played significant roles in their religious beliefs. The image showcases a beautifully detailed color lithograph by an anonymous English School artist from the 20th century. At the center of attention is Anubis, the jackal-headed god associated with mummification and guiding souls into the afterlife. He tenderly ministers to Osiris, who lies peacefully on his funeral bier. This scene symbolizes the crucial role that Anubis played in ensuring a smooth transition for deceased individuals into their eternal journey. Nephthys, kneeling at Osiris's head, represents mourning and protection during this sacred process. Her presence offers comfort as she pays her respects to one of Egypt's most revered deities. At Osiris's feet is Isis, another powerful goddess known for her magical abilities and association with fertility. This artwork was inspired by Albert Churchward's book "Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man" published in London in 1913. It serves as a visual representation of ancient Egyptian religious practices and beliefs surrounding death and resurrection. Through this mesmerizing piece, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage left behind by our ancestors—a testament to their devotion towards understanding life beyond mortality.
