Golden Anubis — A Commission of Eternal Vigilance

Drawn from the Egyptian Gods of Prosperity series, Golden Anubis is a fully gilded ceramic sculpture conceived as a symbol of guardianship, continuity, and enduring strength.
Anubis, revered as the guide to the afterlife and protector of sacred thresholds, is rendered here as a work of lasting cultural and artistic significance.

The sculpture is commissioned from the master artisans of Kōbeigama, a kiln officially recognized as a Japanese National Treasure, where ancient Egyptian symbolism is interpreted through the highest discipline of Japanese ceramic craftsmanship.

Artistic Pedigree & Material Authority

Every aspect of Golden Anubis reflects intentional restraint and technical mastery.

The entire figure is finished in full gold gilding, achieved through a meticulous, multi-stage process of hand-applied gold layers, kiln-fired to produce a smooth, mirror-like surface. This time-intensive technique imparts a refined luminosity that responds subtly to light, conveying opulence without excess.

Anubis is adorned with a blue-glazed ankh, the ancient symbol of eternal life, rebirth, and balance. The contrast between the deep blue glaze and the gold surface introduces symbolic clarity and visual depth.

Each sculpture is handcrafted at Kōbeigama, whose multi-generational expertise ensures precision in proportion, balance in form, and enduring material integrity. The result is a guardian figure that embodies vigilance and permanence rather than ornament alone.

Heirloom Presentation & Preservation

Golden Anubis is conceived as a generational work.

The sculpture is presented in a refined, custom-crafted protective box, designed for archival care, discreet presentation, and long-term preservation—whether displayed prominently or held as part of a private collection.

Commissioning & Availability

Due to the complexity and precision required for full-gold gilding, Golden Anubis is offered exclusively by custom order and produced in strictly limited numbers.

Each commission requires approximately three months to complete, allowing the artisans of Kōbeigama to work with deliberate focus and uncompromising standards. This unhurried process is essential to achieving the work’s rarity, material excellence, and lasting cultural value.
