Thoth, The Ibis God

This image portrays a male figure with the head of an Ibis bird, instantly identifying him as the Ancient Egyptian god Thoth, god of writing, magic, and wisdom. The Figure: The god has a dark, muscular human body and the long, curved beak of an Ibis. He wears a dark, traditional headdress/wig. Attire and Symbols: His clothing and jewelry are opulent and golden, including a detailed, broad collar, belt, wristbands, and armbands. His lower body is clad in dark blue trousers or a kilt. Pose and Action: He is shown holding a small object in his raised left hand, from which a golden, serpent-like wisp of smoke or magic is rising, emphasizing his role as a master of the mystic arts. Style: Like the Sobek portrait, the dark skin contrasts against the vivid gold of the attire and the bright white highlights, creating a dramatic, mystical effect against the deep black background.
