The statue is not Anubis. It's either Taweret or Sobek.

Taweret:



Sobek



I lean toward Taweret, because Sobek usually is depicted with a real big hat thing (that picture notwithstanding), while Taweret has a little cap thing on the top of her head.

What about the item the statue is holding? Based on the pictures you provided, it looks a lot more like Sobek. That item is called an ankh, which represents the ability to undo evil and cure ills.

It's holding two ankhs, just like Taweret.

Sobek holds ankhs as well. But just based on the pics Kirobaito provided, it looks a lot more like Sobek to me. But to each their own.
