Amulets are small objects that represent gods, goddesses, and symbols of rebirth. Made of bronze, clay, or stone, they offered the wearer sacred protection both in the world of the living and in the afterlife. Ancient Egyptians wore amulets as jewelry
during life; priests would also place amulets within the wrappings of a mummy as they prepared it for burial. Certain amulets were placed in specific locations on the mummy, such as over the heart, the throat, or the incision on the abdomen.
Anubis was the god of mummification and protected the deceased’s body from harm. Amulets of Anubis would not have been worn as jewelry by the living but would only have been placed in the linen wrappings of the mummy.
