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 the Egyptian God Anubis in a standing posture, holding his Ankh and staff.

The statue stands 22cm in height with the base measuring 9cm x 5cm. The base is lined with black velvet to prevent slipping and damage to surfaces. 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.
