Anubis was the jackal-headed god in the Egyptian pantheon of deities. He was born from the union of the goddess Nephtys and the god Ra. In primitive ancient Egypt Anubis was just the "jackal god" and was associated with the dead because the jackal was always seen prowling around the cemeteries and tombs. He quickly grew into the gaurdian and guide for the dead in the underworld or "amenti". His cults were many during Egyptian history. At times he was looked upon to be as powerful as Osiris who ruled the underworld. Anubis was also the patron god of embalmers and mummification rites. Statues of Anubis were often found guarding the doors of Egyptian tombs. In the above listed item, this Anubis is likely from the Late Period. The Anubis was usually placed inside the tomb and this Anubis is one of that type. He is depicted here in striding form, has a visible cartouche on the front and visible hieroglyphs on the reverse panel. It has surface age wear, several chips and areas of patina. This is a very artful rendition of this Anubis god.
