There must be jackal ears atop the head/mask

Something worthy of note that I think even John Gee would agree, is this: Jackal god Anubis or his earthly representative wearing a mask, will ALWAYS have jackal ears -- absolutely no exceptions.
Do you agree with that, Mr. Gee?
Let's take a stroll to the National Museums Scotland and see for ourselves that jackal ears MUST always be displayed atop the head of one who represents Anubis. In this Roman funerary papyrus (9 BC.), we witness a pair of Anubis's speaking to the deceased Montsuef.
"This image shows Montsuef lying mummified between two jackal-headed figures: embalming priests wearing masks to play the role of Anubis, god of mummification."
Notice that both Anubis priests are wearing the royal Double Crown which is emblematical of Upper & Lower Egypt. But you'll also note, more especially from the figure to the right, the jackal ears are not hidden from view inside the crown but MUST be visible in order to represent the complete form of jackal god Anubis. The ears MUST be visible. That is part of the nature of Anubis and always has been since the beginning of Egypt, even into Roman times.
Isn't that right, John?
Lo and behold, the funerary Papyrus of Montsuef manifests a similar ritual depicted in Facsimile No. 3, as Montsuef is presented to Osiris in like manner as Hor was presented to Osiris in Facsimile No. 3, with Anubis his guide at his side.
"This image shows the jackal god Anubis presenting the mummified Montsuef to Osiris, seated on a throne, followed by Thoth, Isis and Nephthys.
The text tells us about the good life Montsuef lived:"
John, the sculpted relief below is Anubis. What can you tell us about Anubis in Facsimile No. 3?
Do tell. Don't hold back.

You passed your lifetime on earth having a full measure of every good thing that your heart desired, no man having become poor because of you and without having done a misdeed.
