An ancient Egyptian amuletic pendant crafted in faience and depicting the god, Thoth, in his baboon form. The deity appears seated with forepaws on his knees, as his legs are bent beneath him, with his shoulders to the chest. The amulet shows the discoid plaque, or lunar headdress, behind the head. Thoth was closely associated with time keeping and accurate measuring, so held a key role in ensuring that time passed at the correct speed, in accordance with the movements of the moon.
