This ancient Egyptian relief dates from c. 100 CE and depicts Tutu. (He was known as "Tithoes" in Greek.) Tutu was an ancient Egyptian god that first rose in popularity in the Late Period (c. 664 BCE–c. 332 BCE). While ancient Egyptians believed Tutu was the son of Neith—a fearsome goddess—Tutu nonetheless provided protection from demons and helped people in the ancient Egyptian afterlife. The god's iconography is anthropomorphic. (Musée du Cinquantenaire, Brussels)
