Black Greyhounds or Two Iggy Design
Ancient Egyptians held dogs in such high esteem
that killing one meant death as well to the perpetrator. Many Pharaohs, such
as Tutankhamen, were either buried with their favorite Greyhounds or their
tombs decorated with paintings of them. Anubis, the dog-headed god, was the
most prominent Egyptian god. His role was to prepare bodies for burial and
determine the balance of good and bad deeds committed in each life. Oupouaout,
the 'trail leader' was shown as a standing Greyhound, guiding the souls of
the dead to their final destination. Only Egyptian royalty were permitted
to keep Greyhounds and they were carried in honor on the backs of camels when
crossing the deserts.
In the designs below two Greyhounds are featured. The silhouettes could also represent Italian Greyhounds!!! Anyone with more than one IG will have a special appreciation for this design!
