A statuette glazed in robin's egg blue faience depicts Anubis, standing with a jackal's head. The figure has a protruding snout, tall pointed ears, and a slender torso wearing a knee-length kilt. It stands on a thin rectangular base, facing right, with arms resting at its sides. A vertical pillar supports its back. The matte surface is slightly pitted with patches of tan discoloration throughout.
