Anubis Bookmark

$22.00 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The perfect Met Museum souvenir. This artful bookmark captures a remarkably carved and painted statuette (332–30 BCE) of Anubis, the Egyptian god of mummification, in The Met collection. Here, Anubis is depicted as a human with a jackal head and long wig, likely greeting—and subsequently protecting—the deceased in the afterlife.
