You are bidding on a unique piece of history. This piece is an Egyptian Amulet of Anubis. It is carved from wood and dates from around 2500BC. My father passed this down to me after acquiring it from close friends in Egypt. It has been verified as original and we were advised to insure it for a minimum of £10000 pounds sterling. If you are interested in this item please email me. It breaks my heart to sell it as it has extreme sentimental value, but with the current financial climate I have no choice.

**Anubis Amulets, were worn by high and low-born alike, since all Egyptians were concerned about safely reaching the afterlife. Anubis, the jackal-headed god, discovered embalming and mummification and was the link between the living and the dead. As "keeper of the dead", he assisted in the rites by which a person was admitted into the underworld by weighing the heart against Truth to determine the worth of the person's life! To fail this test meant oblivion. An important god, he carried the scepter of the rulers in his right hand and lasted through the 3000 years of Egyptian civilization.
