In Ancient Egypt, the faience hippos were linked to the themes of life, regeneration, and rebirth through many different layers that included the behavior of the animals themselves as well as the decoration of these statuettes. When placed in tombs, they were meant to supply the deceased with regenerative power and to guarantee his or her rebirth. Taweret is the protective ancient Egyptian goddess of childbirth and fertility. The name "Taweret" means "she who is great" or simply "great one".

This beautiful figurine looks fantastic on my desk and makes a fantastic paperweight. The figurine is dense and heavy for its size and has a rich patina that makes it blend right in with items of antiquity in my library. No matter where this little hippo ends up in my house, she will be a welcome addition. This is a great gift idea for anyone who is into ancient Egypt. This little hippo is boxed in a really nice box for gifting. Love it!
I bought this for myself. I love it better than the picture.
Good quality, so so cute!! Such a perfect accent piece
