Made of stone enlivened with red, blue, yellow, and brown paint, this figurine of the god Thoth as a baboon, has lost its moon disk on the top of his head. This is a remarkable representation of the god of knowledge and patron of the scribes. Thoth was universally revered in the Old Kingdom (2700-2500 BC).Bibliography (for this item)Arnold, Dorothea (editor)1999 When the Pyramids Were Built: Egyptian Art of the Old Kingdom.
