Taweret is the protective ancient Egyptian goddess of childbirth and fertility. The name "Taweret" means "she who is great" or simply "great one".
This small hippo has a lot of character! They are individually hand-painted, so the marking/glaze varies. They stand stable, but they are not quite level. If you like handmade treasures from Egypt, this statue is for you!
In Ancient Egypt, the faience hippos were associated with themes of life, regeneration, and rebirth through various layers, including the behavior of the animals themselves and the decorative elements on these statuettes. When placed in tombs, they were meant to supply the deceased with regenerative power and to guarantee his or her rebirth.
