Goddesses and gods of the ancient Egyptians : a theological encyclopedia, via WWW, January 15, 2019 (Tutu (Tithoes); Tutu, or Tithoes, in the Hellenized form of the name, is sometimes depicted anthropomorphically but generally as a type of sphinx, with a human head, the body of a lion, a tail in the form of a snake, and often wings. His name possibly means 'the imaged one', from tut, 'image', and iconographic variation and embellishment is typical for him; he is frequently depicted facing the viewer, like a small number of other Gods (notably Bes, Bat and Hathor), which may indicate his accessibility)
