Anubis was the ancient Egyptian jackal-god of the Underworld and mummification. Anubis was worshipped as the inventor of embalming and the one who embalmed the dead Osiris, thereby helping to preserve him that he might live again. This amazingly detailed bust statue of Anubis makes a great conversation piece. Anubis measures 9 1/2 inches tall, 5 inches wide, and 4 1/2 inches deep. Made of cold cast resin, he has a metallic bronze finish that gives him the look of metal, and has hand painted accents to show off the detail. The bottom is felted to help keep your furniture scratch-free. He makes a great gift for enthusiasts of ancient Egypt mythology.
