Anubis, who the ancient Egyptians called Ienpw (phonetically "Yinepu"), is the mysterious canid funerary deity of ancient Egypt. Even the meaning of his name is unknown -- speculations range from "Royal Child" to having derived from the world for "to putrefy". Both certainly fit the deity, who was at various points in time of Egyptian history known as the lord of the dead before Osiris and, later, became popularly known as the son of Osiris.
The statue is in very good condition with a small amount of paint that came off the tip of the nose as shown in photos. Please use photos as a reference to the cosmetic condition. If you have any questions, or if you would like to see any additional photos, please do not hesitate to ask.
