Thoth as baboon
Ptolemaic Period
Thoth in the baboon form is here depicted with a small narrowing muzzle and particularly exuberant cheek manes. Somewhat unusually the god also has a uraeus on his disk. No horns are indicated in association with the disk. It is actually open to question whether a moon disk indicating Thoth or a sun disk indicating another aspect of the god or having some other import is represented.
