This is the rating and price for Pendant Of A Baboon

Description : Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 27th Dynasty, ca. 664 to 404 BCE. A mold-formed faience pendant of a baboon seated with bent legs atop an integral plinth, all covered in blue-green glaze. The upright primate presents with a broad, convex chest, a large head with almond-shaped eyes and a thick snout, and bent arms holding a wadjet (also wedjat or Eye of Horus). The baboon is a zoomorphic variation of Thoth, the typically ibis-headed god of mathematics, intelligence, and the moon. An integral suspension loop on the verso suggests this pendant was worn on a necklace strand in ancient times.
