Understanding the iconography of Inherkhau
Some questions regarding Inherkhau's four bas, the four akhs they create or become when joined with the ka, and the blessed transformation into Anubis are answered here. Osiris largely replaces Anubis as beneficiary of the Htp dj nswt offering formula after the Old Kingdom. However, as a jackal-god who could prevent wild canines of the desert tearing at the corpse in its repose, Anubis remains to secure the body in mummy form so that none of its members go lost.
