- Lot Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th Dynasty, ca. 664 to 525 BCE. A gorgeous cast-bronze seated figurine depicting Anubis, the jackal-headed god of embalming and the dead. He sits with straight legs atop an integral throne with both arms draped gently across the kilt which covers his thighs. His zoomorphic face boasts a conical snout, recessed ovoid eyes, and flowing fur which comprises his mane, and wears the crown of Upper Egypt together with a pair of uraei and feathers resting upon a pair of ram horns. Covered in layers of lustrous espresso-hued patina, this is a wonderful figurative depiction of Anubis! Custom wooden display stand included. Size: 1.125" W x 3.5" H (2.9 cm x 8.9 cm); 4.875" H (12.4 cm) on included custom stand.
Anubis is also associated with Wepwawet (Upuaut), an Egyptian god based on the African golden wolf, with grey or white fur in contrast to that of Anubis. Together, they were worshipped at the city of Asyut which was called "Lycopolis" (city of wolves) by the Greeks. In 1895, American traveler William Vaughn Tupper described Asyut: "In the hills seen on the horizon are the tombs of the priests and numberless holes in the rocks once filled with mummies of the Jackal...the hills are now strewn with skulls and bones of the Jackals" (from the William Vaughn Tupper Scrapbook Collection, Boston Public Library).
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private lifetime collection of Dr. Saul Tuttman and Dr. Gregory Siskind, New York, New York, USA
