This beautiful statue of the Egyptian god Anubis is made from a compound of crushed stone and high quality polyresin which gives it a solid, weighty feel. It has been finished in a dramatic matte black colouring with handpainted "old gold" accents. A truly stunning piece of Egyptian decor!

Anubis was the Guardian of the Necropolis and the guide of the dead as they made their way through the darkness of the underworld. As a patron of magic, it was believed he could foresee a person's destiny, and in this role he was the announcer of death. Anubis was also the patron of embalming and the keeper of poisons and medicines. He appears on behalf of the diseased and supervises the weighing of the heart on the scales of justice.

The statue measures 13.5cm long x 4.5cm wide x 9cm high and comes packaged in a beautiful black gift-box, custom molded and lined with golden yellow satin, as shown.
