Vintage Ceramic Baboon Figurine Phallic Paperweight Turquoise Color Glazed

Description

Vintage Ceramic Babi Figurine Phallic Paperweight.
This figurine is made of clay and glazed a turquoise color.
Since baboons were considered to be the dead, Babi was viewed as a deity of the Underworld, the Duat.
Baboons are extremely aggressive and omnivorous, and Babi was viewed as being very bloodthirsty, and living on entrails. Consequently, he was viewed as devouring the souls of the sinful after they had been weighed against Maat (the concept of truth/order), and was thus said to stand by a lake of fire, representing destruction. Since this judging of righteousness was an important part of the underworld, Babi was said to be the first-born son of Osiris, the god of the dead in the same regions in which people believed in Babi.
Baboons also have noticeably high libidos, in addition to their high level of genital marking, and so Babi was considered the god of virility of the dead.
Condition is used but in great shape with no chips or cracks. The original sticker "Made in Egypt" is still on the bottom.
