Priests of Anubis were heavily involved in Egypt's embalming workshops. A male priest would have been present during the embalming process to read the spiritual rites while the physical embalming was occurring. Some of these priests (although not all) wore a wooden mask made in the likeness of Anubis when performing these rituals. | Priests of Anubis were heavily involved in Egypt's embalming workshops.

The mask was worn on top of the head like a hat so the priest's face could be seen from underneath as he read the ritual from a scroll. | ||
Because anyone involved in the embalming process was connected spiritually to Anubis, there were many different designations for those who served him. | Because anyone involved in the embalming process was connected spiritually to Anubis, there were many different designations for those who served him. | ||
