Description
Late Period, Ca. 644 - 332 BC.
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.
Funerary amulets frequently took on the likeness of protective deities associated with safeguarding the deceased. Anubis, depicted with the head of a jackal, was responsible for overseeing the intricate embalming rituals. Revered as the "lord of the sacred grounds," he acted as the guardian of the necropolis. Anubis played a pivotal role in the afterlife judgment process, presiding over the weighing of the heart before Osiris.
Size: 65mm x 25mm; Weight: 16.5g
Provenance: Property of a London gallery; previously in a collection of a North London gentleman; formerly in a collection of Mrs B. Ellison, a deceased former member of the Egyptian Exploration Fund, bought from the 1940s, Cairo and London.
