A life-sized baboon figurine sits in a squatting position, its head featuring an unmistakable hole, as if worn away by countless nights. These enigmatic figures likely served as guardians of time, watching over the hours that the deceased would spend navigating the underworld's dark realm. Alternatively, they may have been revered as earthly manifestations of Thoth, the mystical god often associated with wisdom and magic, a staple of ancient Egyptian spirituality during the Ramesside Period.
