(From the info card) "Thoth appears three times, from left to right: assimilated with the moon god Khonsu-Harpokrates, in baboon form, and as an ibis-head crowned figure. The last wears an elaborate mythological kilt like those seen on representations of Roman Period pharaohs at Dendara. Three small panels on the kilt illustrate, from top: a griffin-type form that presumably represents the god Nemesis, an eagle (?) and a seated baboon." |
