AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Amulet of Anubis in turquoise faience
Late Period (Egypt, ca. 664–332 BC)
Height 5 cm (pedestal 8 cm)
Beautiful amulet in siliceous faience representing the god Anubis, god of mummification and protector of necropolises.
He is depicted standing, left leg forward, arms along the body, wearing a short loincloth.
The jackal head is well characterized (elongated snout, ears erect).
The piece has a dorsal pillar pierced by a horizontal suspension hole, typical of amulets intended to be worn or sewn onto the mummy bandages.
Glaze in blue-turquoise faience still well preserved, a color highly sought after for amulets of this period.
Anubis was one of the most frequently depicted deities in funerary amulets. These pieces served to protect the deceased during mummification and to accompany him in the afterlife.
One ear broken.
Normal wear and surface soiling.
Glaze still vivid.
No apparent restoration.
