The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this wooden masterpiece, which was discovered within the tomb of Tutankhamun during the New Kingdom period.

As one gazes upon this image, it is impossible not to be captivated by Anubis' commanding presence. The significance of this artifact extends beyond its artistic value; it offers us a glimpse into ancient Egyptian beliefs surrounding death and the journey to eternity.
