- Lot Description
Ancient Egypt, Third Intermediate Period, 21st to 25th Dynast, 1070 to 664 BCE. A faience figure of Taweret (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. Standing in a striding pose atop an integral plinth, Tawaret presents with her left foot forward, both arms placed defensively against her womb, and shoulders back in a relaxed manner, all while wearing the horned crown of Hathor.
