- Lot Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic Period to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A mold-formed faience amulet depicting Anubis, god of mummification and the afterlife. Anubis is shown in a striding pose with his left leg advanced, standing atop an integral plinth. His arms rest rigidly at his sides, fists clenched, and he bears his characteristic jackal-headed form with pointed ears and a narrow snout. Enveloped in a green-blue glaze, this color is linked to the Nile's life-giving waters, symbolizing rebirth. Faience, prized for its brilliance and association with immortality, was believed to capture the Nile's regenerative power. A biconically drilled suspension hole behind the shoulders suggests it was designed to be worn or tucked into mummy wrappings. Size: 0.78" L x 0.48" W x 2.2" H (2 cm x 1.2 cm x 5.6 cm)
Provenance: private London, UK collection; ex-F. Becker collection, Munich, Germany, 1980s
