Who Was Anubis?

Britannica describes Anubis as a god tied to funerary practice and the care of the dead. Artists drew him as a jackal or as a man with a jackal's head. The Metropolitan Museum links the jackal to embalming and to guiding the dead.

A tiny electrum amulet there shows a jackal lying on a shrine, dated about 1850 to 1775 BCE. The museum says the animal could be Anubis or the god Wepwawet. In the Book of the Dead, around 1275 BCE, Anubis weighs the heart of the scribe Ani.

An Anubis ankh necklace is a bold statement of ancient belief. This Egyptian god pendant shows the jackal god in clean silver lines. The coffin pendant necklace shape adds a dark, dramatic frame. Anubis jewelry is a natural choice for anyone who loves Egyptian art.

Ankh and Coffin

The ankh is the Egyptian hieroglyph for life. Placed with Anubis, it joins death and renewal in one image. The coffin shape is a modern design choice.

This coffin pendant necklace is inspired by Egyptian funerary imagery. It is not a copy of an ancient object.

Wearing the Necklace

The 23 in chain places the pendant low on the chest. Stainless steel resists tarnish, and a soft cloth keeps the finish clean. Store it flat to protect the relief.

Wear the Anubis ankh necklace over a plain shirt so the relief stands out. A coffin pendant necklace feels best against dark fabric. The Anubis ankh necklace sits low on the chest on its 23 in chain. An Egyptian god pendant of this size is easy to spot. Anubis jewelry like this suits fans of Egyptology.

Death and Rebirth in Egyptian Belief

Ancient Egyptians prepared the dead for a life beyond the grave. Embalmers preserved the body, priests spoke the rituals and tomb paintings showed the journey. Gods such as Anubis and Osiris guarded each stage. The imagery shaped Egyptian art for three thousand years.
