Egyptian Faience Thoth and Horus in a Boat
Late Period, 664-332 B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £1,235
Modelled in the round, comprising a small barque with a seated baboon and a falcon, possibly Thoth and Horus, with a slot to the underside. 35.9 grams, 64 mm
From the collection of a gentleman, acquired on the London art market in the 1990s.
In Egyptian mythology, Thoth restored the eye of Horus, suggesting that this may be the theme of the figurine's composition. Alternatively, the composition may be a condensed depiction of the funerary vignette, which shows the falcon form of the sun god Re in his solar barque flanked by baboons in an attitude of praise. The slot in the underside suggests it was once attached to a separate base. -
