Anubis

This image is a rework of a design I originally did around 8 years ago for use in carving a Jackal-Lantern. XD The guy I was dating at the time said he wanted his Samhain pumpkin to be Anubis themed, so I came up with this for him. I scanned and cleaned up the original design a bit. I purchased usage of a stock photo of the pyramids at Giza for the background and used that, an Egyptian hieroglyph font and some texturing and layering on it for the background.

The pic I used to make the background.

The glyphs are just this text typed in the Egyptian glyph font. (I doubt it's accurate, but I thought it would be fun anyway):
"O Osiris, all that is hateful in Unas hath been brought unto thee, and all the evil words which have been spoken in his name. Come, O Thoth, and take them unto Osiris, bring all the evil words which have been spoken and place them in the hollow of thy hand; thou shalt not escape therefrom, thou shalt not escape therefrom. Whosoever marcheth, marcheth with his ka. Horus marcheth with his ka, Set marcheth with his ka, Thoth marcheth with his ka, Sep marcheth with his ka, Osiris marcheth with his ka, Khent-maati marcheth with his ka; and thy tet shall march with thy ka. Hail, Unas, the hand of thy ka is before thee. Hail, Unas, the hand of thy ka is behind thee. Hail, Unas, the leg of thy ka is before thee. Hail, Unas, the leg of thy ka is behind thee. Osiris Unas, I have given unto thee the Eye of Horus, and thy face is filled therewith, and the perfume thereof spreadeth over thee. The libations which are poured out by thy son, which are poured out by Horus, are for thee, O Osiris, and they are for thee O Unas. I have come, and I have brought unto thee the Eye of Horus that thou mayest refresh thy heart therewith, I have placed it beneath thy feet, and I give unto thee whatsoever hath come forth from thy body that thy heart may not cease to beat through [the want] thereof. Thy voice shall never depart from thee, thy voice shall never depart from thee."

This is text translated from the Egyptian Book of the Dead by E. A. Wallis Budge and is basically a part of the rites spoken during the embalming process. Where originally Anubis was god of death and the underworld, eventually Osiris usurped the role as he bcame more popular and Anubis became the god of embalming instead. So it's still kind of relevant even though he's not mentioned.
