Item Details
Description
Late Period, 664-332 B.C. Comprising a resting lioness on a rectangular base and the god Thoth in baboon form. 1.30 grams total, 12-15 mm (1/2 - 5/8 in.).

From the collection of Doctor Girard, a collector for over 60 years. with Hotel des Ventes de Clermont-Ferrand, 22 May 2017. Property of a French collector.

Throughout ancient Egyptian mythology, lioness goddesses played a significant role in the religious beliefs of the people. These goddesses, including Sekhmet, Bastet, and Wadjet were revered as powerful and fierce protectors. Their presence was believed to ward off evil and safeguard the people from harm. The baboon was an animal manifestation of the god Thoth. Thoth was revered for his association with knowledge, writing, and healing. It is likely that the popularity of Thoth amulets as mummy amulets is linked to his role as the recorder of the final judgment, which determined whether the deceased had lived a life of virtue.
