Inlay depicting Thoth as the ibis with a maat feather

Inlay depicting Thoth as the ibis with a maat feather. Dimensions: H. 15.5 cm (6 1/8 in.); W. 1 cm (3/8 in.); L. 15.6 cm (6 1/8 in.). Date: 4th century B.C.. This exquisite piece of inlay from a shrine shows Thoth, god of writing and all things intellectual, as an ibis walking atop a standard. Its beak is supported by a feather--the symbol of Maat, goddess of justice and closely associated with Thoth. The artist beautifully captured the halting stride of the bird, which seems to be considering its every step.
