Originally named Tehuti by the Egyptians, Thoth was given his better known name by the Greeks. They linked him with their god Hermes, and like Hermes, he was considered to be the god of wisdom, writing and invention. He was also the messenger and spokesman of the gods and finally the lord of the moon. He is represented as a man with the head of an ibis, which is often crowned by the crescent moon supporting the full moon disk. He often holds a writing palette. Thoth invented the arts and sciences, music, and magic, and was the god of learning, but above all, he was the creator of hieroglyphs, and was known as the lord of holy words. He was also the protector of scribes. Made from compound stone. Choose one with the aged sandstone finish or with hand painted color details, ready to hang, 11"H x 6"W x .5"D.
