Anubis, with the Midas touch

I bought this statue many years ago, it was totally black. A friend thought it would look better with some gold leaf so he took it away and added the gold. I was informed that I had bought a statue of Anubis. Being a human Magpie, I simply bought it because it caught my eye. It appears Anubis is the Egyptian god of mummification and the afterlife as well as the patron god of lost souls and the helpless. Sounds a tad gloomy but it is what it is!
