Anubis was associated with the mummification and protection of the dead

 
       
Anubis was associated with the mummification and protection of the dead for their journey into the afterlife. He was usually portrayed as a half human, half jackal, or in full jackal form wearing a ribbon and holding a flail. The jackal was strongly associated with cemeteries in ancient Egypt, since it was a scavenger which threatened to uncover human bodies and eat their flesh.  
Golden Anubis statue is made from resin, finished in gold paint with black and red details, the staff is made from metal.
Height 15cm Width 3.5cm Depth 5cm
Would look incredible in the hallway of a mansion house or Collectors Room or antique / Curio Shop or in an Egyptian setting.
