The Embalmers- There were three distinct groups of practitioners associated with the mummification process;

1. The cutter, who made the incision in the left flank of the mummy.

2. The scribe, who supervised this work

3. The embalmer, who belonged to a special guild or organization and was responsible for leading the mummification ceremonies and for wrapping the mummy in bandages.

The latter actually supervised all of the stages of the mummification process and wore a jackal-headed mask to impersonate Anubis, the god of embalming, as he performed the rituals.
