Description: Paulina greatly worshipped the god Anubis. When the priest named Mundus found out about this, he used this to his advantage. He dressed up as Anubis and convinced Paulina to have sex with him, saying that it was allowed. In the image, a bed is made inside the temple of Anubis for Paulina to sleep in that night. Beside it, Paulina is courted by “Anubis,” who is actually Mundus. Mundus is wearing a black cloak, part of Anubis’ regalia.
