Anubis' most distinguishing symbol was his head. He had the head of a jackal. In ancient Egypt the Egyptians viewed the Jackal as a very strong symbol of death. The ideal was rooted in the jackals who hunted on the outskirts of the cemetery grounds in Egypt at the time.
Anubis is usually depicted with an Ankh in one hand and a flail in the other. His head is usually black. During funeral rituals he is seen as measuring the heart up until the Middle Kingdom periods when Osiris began to take over this duty.
