Stela with a King Offering to Anubis and a Goddess in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2008

Stela with a King Offering to Anubis and a Goddess in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2008
Stela with a King Offering to Anubis and a Goddess
1st century BC- 4th century AD
Limestone

Accession # X.554

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 names 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.
