Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The central hieroglyphs on the shield are a misspelling of JNPW or Anpu, the native spelling and pronunciation of Anubis. Along with being named after Aaru, an aspect of the Egyptian afterlife considered to be a heavenly paradise, the shield's association with death and the afterlife is clear.
The Shield of Aaru, a shield in Assassin's Creed: Origins, uses the same model as the Tomb Protector, another shield in the same game.
