Exhibition: 1,000 years of offerings to Egyptian jackal deity
http://archive.gulfnews.com/articles/07/03/03/10108415.html
"A thousand years' worth of offerings to an ancient Egyptian jackal deity are the subject of an exhibition that opened on Thursday at Cairo's Egyptian Museum.
The exhibition, Anubis, Upwawet and Other Deities, is based on votive offerings that British archaeologist Gerald Wainwright found in a tomb built around 1800 or 1900 BC near the southern town of Assiut.
The tomb originally belonged to a local hereditary prince, but for more than 1,000 years local people used it as a shrine for personal devotion, filling it with tablets dedicated to the local jackal deity Upwawet."
