Thoth was shown in human form with the head of an ibis, wearing a crown consisting of a crescent moon topped by a moon disk, sometimes as an ibis or a baboon. Both the ibis and the baboon were sacred to him.

Thoth was as an arbiter and messenger of the gods, was the vizier and official scribe of the afterworld, and that the Book of the Dead was written by him.

Like many gods, he played a role in the afterlife. Thoth served in Osirian myths as the vizier (chief advisor and minister) of Osiris.

Sometimes Thoth himself who weighed the hearts of the dead against the feather of Truth in the Hall of the Two Truths.
