Hermanubis(Ἑρμανοῦβις) is a god who combined Hermes (Greek) with Anubis (Egyptian). He was originated during the Ptolemaic Egypt, and became popular in the Roman period.
Hermes' and Anubis's similar responsibilities (they were both conductors of souls) led to the god Hermanubis. He is depicted as an anthropomorpic jackal with a sun disk on his head, but dressed in Greco-Roman manner and has a caduceus(herald's wand), palm leave and talaria(winged shoes), which are belonged to the Greek god Hermes.

Dress for the job you want, not the job you have, and you have to start doing the work you want to be doing
This is such an interesting concept though. It feels like an alternate form/incarnation of Anubis or a fusion to me haha!
