Denver's art museum has an exhibit of King Tut right now. Assuming these artifacts came through the Denver airport to be displayed at the Denver museum, perhaps this could be one of the reasons - it's an exhibit.

Nevertheless, the more important question here is - What does Anubis represent? Anubis is the Greek name for Anpu, they are the same jackal-headed archetype facilitating as "Guide of the Dead" who leads the "deceased" to the Hall of Justice for the Weighing of the Heart and Words.

Death and the "dead" are figurative, and not literal. In the pre-dynastic cosmologies of Egypt, to "die" or to be "embalmed" alluded to the state of being whereupon a person is no longer ruled by thier lower (animalistic) nature, and have become "dead" through a process of purification, mummification. This is why Anpu (Anubis) is the embalmer of Ausar/Osiris.

The one eye is the eye of Heru, the son of the dead Osiris/Ausar, conceived immaculately through Auset/Isis. This eye represents seeing with the right brain faculties (all-seeing), as opposed to the left brain faculties. The symbolism has changed throughout the cosmology, having been adopted by some priesthoods and dropped for other representations (hawk) as the cosmology evolved throughout dynastic rule.
