The rubric included in Ch. CLI of the Book of the Dead which
refers to this figure and its brick (pedestal) reads as
follows:

"This formula is to be spoken over an Anubis of unbaked clay,
sprinkled(?) with incense, and fastened on a brick of clay on
on which this formula has been graven. A hole is made for it
in the east wall, its face towards the west, and it is covered
up."

A similar figure of Anubis was found in the Burial-chamber of
Thothmes iv. (in situ) in a niche cut in a square column on
the south side of the sarcophagus (= s. wall), and it faced
north.
