Painted on a mummies tomb. The dogheaded god shown here is Anubis. He appears to be putting the heart liver etc of the dead person into seperate canopic jars, which was standard practice for the Ancient Egyptians. If anyone knows better please tell me.

mummys case

mummys case

Mummys case in New Walk Museum, Leicester. This has rather large ears. The Egyptian Room there has very poor light and the exhibits are behind glass which has reflected lights etc. Its a bit of a photographers nightmare. Fascinating place to visit though if you like that sort of thing.
