The original of this wall relief, which dates to 1250 B.C., can be found in the Tomb of Sennedjem, Thebes, Egypt. The God Anubis is presented here embalming the body of the high official Sennedjem. The term embalming (Senefer) means "to give vitality again" and the embalming house (per nefer) means "the house of vitality". For the Egyptians, death was transitory and the mummification allowed the deceased to be prepared for the trip to the underworld and immortality. This spectacular relief - the figures are well defined and there is good depth - measures 9.75" x 11.5" high. Comes with descriptive story card. It is made from hydrostone (weighs 4.5 lbs!) and has a sturdy hanger on the back. The red background is noble and rich. A beauty of a piece!
