Miniature Egyptian Glazed Faience Pendant - Anubis

**Originally Listed At $200**

Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A wonderful mold-formed faience pendant of a miniature size depicting Anubis, the god of the dead and embalming. Anubis stands in a striding pose atop an integral plinth, holds rigid arms to his sides, and displays his characteristic jackal-form head with pointed ears and a narrow snout. The petite pendant is covered in attractive blue-green glaze, and a suspension hole behind the head houses a modern 10K gold suspension loop. A fabulous example from ancient Egypt! Size: 0.25" W x 0.75" H (0.6 cm x 1.9 cm); quality of gold: 10K.
