Eternal Egypt: Seated Statue of the God Thoth

Curated by ACT

The god of writing and wisdom was Thoth depicted as a baboon. He was also identified with the moon Iah, and was called "Lord of the Moon Eye." On the head of the baboon, personifying Thoth, are both the sun disk and the crescent moon protected by the cobra. The seated baboon is concealed up to the knees in a cover without any details. From his neck hangs a pectoral showing the Udjat eye of protection between the two feathers of Maat the goddess of justice.
