An #Egyptian glass inlay of a jackal. Jackals were linked with the dead, because they were present in the desert regions near to the cemeteries. The most popular jackal-shaped god was Anubis, the god of embalming. Dating 5th -1st c. BC.

Larch #trees are one of the few conifers that shed their needles in #winter. 🌲 In Sami & Siberian #mythology the larch takes the place of an Ash as the World-tree, & the smoke from burning larch is said to offer protection by warding off evil spirits. 🔥
