Ca. 664-332 BC. A green, glazed faience composition amulet of Thoth represented as a naturalistic baboon, the god of the moon. Thoth is depicted with stylised iconography of a hamadryas baboon with a long snout, strong eternal eyes, and front paws resting comfortably on his knees, his body highlights variations of levels of fur which is uncommon in amulets - this example has been moulded to a high standard.

XXCVII.Size: L:58.9mm / W:15.9mm ; 5.32gProvenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly acquired in early 2000s; previously in 1970s UK collection.
