An ancient Egyptian faience statuette representing the god Thoth in the guise of a baboon squatting with his hands on his knees, his face framed by a mane and his upper body cloaked with tufted fur.
The baboon was especially associated with the scribal god Thoth. Thoth played a role in maintaining the universe, along with his wife Maat (truth). Thoth was also heavily associated with scribal procedures and writing, and by extension with magic, science, and judgment.
