Description from the seller
Very rare Egyptian bronze of the god Anubis in the form of a seated jackal or dog.
The Egyptians knew many dog-like deities (Canids), of which Anubis is the most well-known. Anubis is the ancient Egyptian god of funerary rites, mummification, and the guardian of the tomb. He was usually depicted as a black jackal, a dog, or as a human with a jackal's head. The color black symbolized fertility (the Nile) and the color of the afterlife.
