Egyptian God/Goddess question

[enchanted_one1975]

I have seen the following statue...

...for sale on eBay. It is sometimes marketed as Isis and sometimes as Thoth. This statue is of an ibis. As I understand it, Isis was represented by the falcon. While Thoth had an ibis head, when He assumed full animal form, it was that of a baboon instead. Does this statue, in full ibis form, actually represent Isis, Thoth, or any other Ancient Egyptian Deity?

After doing some research, it appears that Ibis's represent Thoth, though Ibis's themselves were seen as sacred in ancient Egyptian mythos.

is one of the the hieroglyphs for Thot(h) , it seems like it is kind of a baboon by day and Ibis by night deal.

I have never heard of the ibis being a symbol of Isis.

The most common symbol of Isis is that of a cow, but yes, she did appear as a kite, which is a small hawk or falcon of some sorts. She was mainly represented as a kite, when she and her sister Nephyths went searching for Osiris' body. In some imagery, she was having sex with the dead Osiris, to conceive Horus.
