Royal Egyptian Artifact – "أنوبيس المتوج" (Anūbīs al-Mutawwij) – "Crowned Anubis"

story:

Wearing a black crown said to be forged from the night sky and the dust of tombs, Anubis sat upon the empty throne in the Hall of Two Truths. For seven days and nights, he ruled the dead, not with law, but with silence. A silence so absolute that it held back the storm of forgotten souls clawing at the edges of the afterlife.

During his reign, the scales did not tip. The feather of Ma’at hovered in eternal stillness. Judgment was frozen, and no soul passed forward or fell backward. Time stood still.

The crown, it is said, gave him the power to see not just a soul’s truth — but its future lies, its hidden regrets, and the secrets it would carry into rebirth. It showed him the full path of a spirit, and he judged not with mercy or wrath, but with understanding no human heart could bear.

When Osiris returned, Anubis did not resist. He removed the crown without word or ceremony, placed it upon a statue forged in secret, and vanished into the shadows once more.

Now, that statue — the Crowned Anubis — has resurfaced. Its gaze is calm, but its presence is heavy. Those who stand before it report strange visions: deserts that never end, voices without mouths, dreams of walking paths where every step echoes with memories not their own.

Material:

Pharaonic schist:

Refers to a variety of metamorphic stones widely used by the ancient Egyptians from 3100 to 30 BC. This stone is characterized by its layered composition, which facilitates its shaping and carving. Schist is composed of minerals such as mica, chlorite, and talc, giving it a lustrous sheen and a smooth surface. These qualities made it a valuable material for fine sculptures, ritual objects, and funerary items. The ancient Egyptians preferred schist for its ability to support intricate carvings, making it a prime material for temple statues, stelae, and tomb artifacts, which often held religious significance.
