Anubis
- 101
An Egyptian offered this statue as a gift to Anubis, hoping for a favor in return-so much so that he paid for expensive silver decoration on Anubis' dress and eye.
Excavated at Serapeum, Saqqara, by Auguste Mariette (1821-1881), and deposited in the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, Cairo, no. CG 38521, ca. 1851-at least 1906 [1];
With Paul Mallon, New York, by 1957;
Purchased from Paul Mallon by The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO, 1957.
