This beautiful statue by Veronese is cast from a high quality polyresin compound and has been handpainted in a burnished bronze finish with coloured accents as shown. It depicts an Egyptian jackal, emblematic of the God Anubis.

The statue stands 8.5cm high x 13cm long x 4cm wide. A truly stunning piece of Egyptian decor!

Anubis was the God of Embalming and the Dead. Since jackals were often seen in cemeteries, the ancient Egyptians believed that Anubis watch over the dead. Anubis was the god who embalmed Osiris after he was killed by Seth. Thus, Anubis watches over the process of mummification. Priests often wore a mask of Anubis during mummification ceremonies.
