Lot 86: AN EGYPTIAN TURQUOISE FAIENCE AMULET OF ANUBIS, LATE PERIOD - PTOLEMAIC PERIOD, CIRCA 664-30 BC

The deity is depicted with a human body and the characteristic head of the Set-animal, distinguished by its elongated snout and tall, squared-off upright ears. The figure is modelled in a traditional striding pose with the left leg advanced, standing upon a small rectangular plinth. He wears a short, striated kilt known as a schenti and a tripartite wig. A solid, plain back pillar extends from the base to the rear of the head for structural support. The glaze displays a grainy, porous texture with areas of thinning and weathering.
