Late Period, ca. 664–332 BC

Carved figure of a recumbent jackal, the animal form of Anubis, god of embalming and guardian of the necropolis. He sits splayed with forelegs extended, the hind legs tucked beneath, and the hindquarters raised and squared. The head is held high on a long neck, with tall, erect ears, a long muzzle and an incised mouth line. The eyes are painted in white and black with a black outline. A black painted collar runs round the neck, and the harness or strap lines continue down the chest. The surface is covered in red-brown paint over a gesso-like ground, with patches of yellow and white. A round socket drilled in the rump was probably for a separately made tail, now gone.
Figures of this type crowned the lids of wooden shrines, canopic chests and coffins. Wear and flaking of the paint and ground, losses at the tips of the ears and the muzzle, and the tail missing.
