The Anubis Ring is a band in 925 sterling silver carrying the figure of Anubis, the jackal-headed god of ancient Egypt who presided over embalming and led the dead toward judgment. He appears as Egyptian art always renders him, with the long muzzle and tall upright ears that identify him at once.The carving keeps his features bold and the surfaces around them quiet, so the head holds the eye from every angle. Anubis stood at the threshold between life and death, which makes him a sign of guardianship and of safe passage through change. He is worn here for that meaning rather than as a religious piece.
