Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

Small turquoise-blue glazed faience figurine shaped like a jackal-headed deity, shown in a standing pose with pointed ears and a dark facial feature.

The image shows a small, vertically oriented faience object with a jackal form. The head has upright pointed ears and a stylized snout; the face includes a dark circular/oval element that likely marks an eye. The body is simplified into a standing form with incised or molded lines suggesting legs and body contours. There is a mottled turquoise-blue glaze with areas of wear and small surface losses. No clear hieroglyphic inscription, cartouche, or alphabetic text is visible on the figure itself. No additional attributes (such as a clear staff/ankh or a specific crown) are distinct enough to confirm beyond the jackal-headed iconography. The catalogue title identifies it as a 'Figure of Anubis'; the jackal-headed appearance is consistent with Anubis, though the image resolution does not allow confirmation of more specific iconographic details.
