Striding Thoth
Ptolemaic Period
Thoth, the god of writing, accounting and all things intellectual, was associated with two animals: the ibis and the baboon. His images either show him represented by these animals or they combine a human body with an ibis head as in this piece of shining blue, perfectly preserved faience.
