One fist reaches skyward while the other hand rests near his heart. Hand-painted antique gold and colored accents set off this kneeling Anubis statue.

Researchers at Mainz University describe an adoration gesture in Egyptian art. Tomb owners used it from about 2500 to 2000 BC. A Henu pose statue turns that old gesture into sculpture. The raised fist and the hand at the heart suit the title Saluting the Rising Sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAnubis in Egyptian Belief\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJackals haunted cemeteries, so Egyptians made the jackal guardian of the dead. Anubis was linked with embalming and attended the scales when the heart was weighed. Later art shows him leading the dead to Osiris. Every Egyptian god Anubis image carries this duty of care. Black, his usual color, stood for renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Worshipper Before Anubis\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bronze at the Walters Art Museum shows a worshipper kneeling before Anubis with both hands extended. The inscription asks the god for blessings. Here the roles are reversed, and the god himself kneels in praise. That makes this ancient Egyptian deity a figure of both power and humility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDisplay and Detail\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA kneeling Anubis statue makes a lively change from the usual seated jackal. The raised fist gives the figure upward energy, and the hand near the heart adds a quiet note. This kneeling Anubis statue is best seen from the front, where both gestures read clearly. A Henu pose statue also rewards a closer look at the hieroglyphs on the base. As an ancient Egyptian deity in a new pose, Anubis suits a collector shelf. Few ancient Egyptian deity images show such humility. The Henu pose statue is humble and strong at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kneeling Anubis statue is 8 in tall and weighs 2 to 3 lbs. It suits a desk, shelf, or study. The base is 3.25 in wide, with hieroglyphs on all sides. Dust it with a soft cloth.
