- Lot Description
Egypt, New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, ca. 1549 to 1292 CE. An impressive faience figure of Tawaret (also Taweret, Tauret, Apet, Opet), the goddess of child birthing and suckling as well as a protector of women, children, and the weak. Tawaret's composite form is defined with the feet of a lioness, the spine and tail of a crocodile, the breasts and bulging belly of a pregnant woman, and the head of a hippopotamus. This hybrid creature combines the elements of dangerous and fertile creatures, perfect for a goddess that was meant to protect women and their children. In front of her legs is a pair of sa-symbols, protective loops that were also used as hieroglyphs to write the word for "protection" and for "amulet." The ancient deity is crowned by a discoid headdress and enveloped in a blue-green pigment representative of the fertility of the Nile. Size: 1.3" L x 0.8" W x 3" H (3.3 cm x 2 cm x 7.6 cm)
