Anubis or Anpu is the Egyptian God of mummification.
His association with the dead may stem from the Jackals predisposition to wander the tomb areas of the city. Anubis images were placed in Egyptian tombs to serve the dead as a guide through the underworld.
This 12 inch statuette depicts the son of Osiris in full funerary attire and is identical to those found inside the tombs of Ancient Egyptians.

Anubis, Dog God of Mummification Statuary EG108

As far back as 5,000 years ago Egypt had introduced a style that, with surprisingly little
change, continued for almost 3,000 years. Rules for the making of statues were rigidly
prescribed, as were social and religious customs. Religion was the dominant force in life on Earth and it required certain preparations for the life beyond. Sculpture was entirely associated with the needs of religion and the gods or with the earthly rulers who were regarded as their representatives.
Of the many treasures excavated in Egypt the limestone head of Queen Nofretete is one of the finest. The breath of life seems to animate the face. The painted, subtly modeled surface and graceful flow of neck and features create a sense of startling realism.
