Allard Pierson Museum Thoth column

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Moongod Toth. The wise god Thoth has, like the moon, two faces: with a full moon the round head of a baboon, during the waxing period that of an ibis. Here the baboon is seated on a column with the ibis below. Of Thoth himself all we see is his hand on the face of the moon, the rest of the statue is lacking. In Roman-Egypt Thoth is equal to the god Mercurius. Marble, Egypt (?), c. 100-150 AD (inv. 7946)
Nederlands: De wijze god Thoth heeft net als de maan twee gezichten: bij volle maan de ronde kop van een baviaan, bij wassende maan een ibiskop. Hier zit de baviaan op een zuil met aan de voorkant de ibis. Van Thoth zelf, in zijn mensengedaante, zied je op de maanschijf alleen nog een hand; de rest van het godenbeeld ontbreekt. In Romeins-Egypte staat Thoth gelijk aan de god Mercurius. Marmer, Egypte (?), ca. 100-150 n. Chr. (inv. 7946)
