Anubis Sarcophagus with Mummy.
Many ancient civilizations believed in life after death. We identify mumification with ancient Egypt. The ancient Egyptians - during the time of the dynasties - believed that mumification would guarantee the soul passage into the next life.
Some believed that the dead lived on in the tomb. While others thought of the dead as having gone to a blessed afterworld in some far-distant place. That being the case they provided for both worlds. In no other civilization have such elaborate preparations for the afterlife been made in the preservation of the dead.
Each Anubis Sarcophagus figure is finished in bright golds reds blues and blacks colours typically associated with Egyptian imagery.
