#Statue of Anubis 2026: The comprehensive guide to buying the original (not the fake!)

Anubis Statue is the No. 1 selling pharaonic gift among Russian, German and Japanese tourists for 5 consecutive years.
But 87% of the statues displayed around the pyramids are fake and made of dyed gypsum!

Here's everything you need to know to walk away with an original piece worth €200-800 in Europe.

1. Types of original Anubis statue found in 2026
- Natural black stone (basalt or granite) ← the most expensive and heaviest
- Transparent alabaster (glows when you shine on it)
- Bronze plated with 18 karat gold
- High quality resin (for beginners – lighter and cheaper but not 100% original)

2. Real prices in 2026 (not the exaggerated tourist price)
- 20–30 cm: 65–140 euros
- 40–50 cm: 180–380 euros
- 70–100 cm (luxury home decor size): 550–1200 euros

3. How to identify the original statue in just 30 seconds?
-The material is very cool to the touch (natural stone)
- The weight is noticeably heavy
-Very fine details (ear hairs, paw nails)
- Slight smell of oil or wax (evidence of modern hand carving)

4. The best places to buy in Egypt
- Craftsmen’s workshops in the village of Qurna (west of Luxor) – prices 40% lower than Khan El Khalili
- Certified jewelers’ shops in the old Luxor market
- Khan Al Khalili (Choose stores that display Ministry of Antiquities certificates only)

A very special and practical secret gift for loved ones (everyone will buy it in 2026!)
