This
stunning 4.2cm long miniature is based on the sculpture found in King Tutankhamen's
tomb. Originally thought to be based on the jackals that roamed cemeteries
at night, Anubis was the god of embalming rituals and adopted a human form
with a dog's head. This figure is made of a base white metal and hand
painted
in black and gold.
The
mini bronze is supplied in a clear acetate box with an insert showing an
image of Anubis and historical information.
