Ancient God Anubis - Anubis statue, god of mummification
Seated Anubis statue History:Anubis is the Egyptian god of mummification and the afterlife and the patron god of lost souls and the helpless. He is one of the oldest gods of Egypt, who most likely developed from the earlier (and much older) jackal god Wepwawet with whom he is often confused. Anubis' image is seen on royal tombs from the First Dynasty of Egypt (c. 3150-2890 BCE). Still, certainly, he had already developed a cult following before this period to be invoked on the tomb's walls for protection. He is thought to have developed in response to wild dogs and jackals digging up newly buried corpses at some point in the Predynastic Period in Egypt (c. 6000-3150 BCE) as the Egyptians believed a powerful canine god was the best protection against wild canines. It's a masterpiece you need to own in your collection.Type: Egyptian Ancient Antiques - Handmade - Made from Stone, Wood- Height: 7.5 Inch- Width: 3.5 Inch- Depth: 8 Inch- Made in Egypt All items are handmade, and a
