An Egyptian pale green faience statuette of standing Anubis with high ears; figurine mounted on back support; realised in natural manners; little damages on the faience. For similar see, the MET Museum Accession Number: 04.2.151.

Anubis played a pivotal role in the afterlife judgment process, presiding over the weighing of the heart before Osiris.
