Egyptian Statues

The decorated golden treasures of Egypt are easily recognized symbols of that extravagant ancient lifestyle. Some of the most recognizable symbols that have been made into Egyptian statues and other artwork include:

• Egyptian cat statue. The ancient Egyptians revered cats more than any other culture in history. This regal Egyptian statue will stand guard over your home's treasures.
• Anubis Egyptian statue. Anubis, the funerary god, was embodied in the jackal or wild dog the Egyptians often saw scavenging in cemeteries. The Egyptians believed that Anubis guided the dead through the underworld and prayers for the dead were addressed to him. Statue replicas of Anubis were often placed in tombs.
• Apollo Egyptian statue. The formality of the Egyptian sculpting style is depicted in the Apollo statue. With his one foot forward, erect body and arms close to his sides the Apollo Egyptian statue is reminiscent of an ancient soldier.
• Egyptian statue of King Tut. This lavishly decorated golden mask of Tutankhamen is recognized as the greatest of Egypt's treasures. This Egyptian statue is painted in rich, royal tones.
• Obelisk. A needle-like stone monument carved in the form of an Egyptian pyramid, this solar symbol was often displayed in front of tombs. This often replicated Egyptian statue is a favorite interior design element.
