Ani addressing the jackal-headed Anubis,God of the dead and embalming,in the symbolic ceremony of securing the heart of the deceased. Ani is holding his heart (or heart scarab) in his right hand whilst appearing to offer an ornate necklace attached to a pectoral plaque. Anubis is the god who gives vigour to Ani's steps and thus secures not only his heart but his mouth,arms,and legs. From the Book of the Dead,the Papyrus of Ani | |
