The
above listed item is from the Third Intermediate Period(1075-715 B.C.E.).
This incredible "Mummiform Anubis" was cast from clay and
was covered with blue green faience glaze. We acquired this item from
a very large private collection in Luxor, Egypt. The front has a very
visible inscribed row of hieroglyphics and it has retained most of its
beautiful faience glaze! This type of figurine was usually placed in
the tomb of the deceased. The piece is intact with age wear. The reason
for the item being available is due to the vast extent of old archeological
findings, thousands of years in Egyptian burials and also the proliferation
of these said items in private collections worldwide.
