Stela with a king offering to Anubis and a Goddess
A king shakes a sistrum and offers a folded cloth to Anubis, who wears the double crown, and to Isis. The inscription above names the king simply as Pharaoh and gives the name and titles of Anubis, companion and escort of the dead. By Roman times Anubis was regarded as a conqueror of death and received particular attention.
