Item Details

Description

Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. An extremely rare faience cabochon of hemispherical form covered in turquoise-hued glaze, the center bearing a recumbent jackal in dark-blue pigment. The right-facing canine rests with forelegs extended and its lower back arched upwards, with a crescent-shaped lappet draped below the pointed ear. Depictions of recumbents jackals were likely zoomorphic references to Anubis, the jackal-headed god of the dead and the process of embalming. This artifact is perhaps a votive offering meant to accompany the dead to the afterlife, with Anubis enacting his role as a psychopomp. Size: 0.71" L x 0.72" W x 0.28" H (1.8 cm x 1.8 cm x 0.7 cm)
