Ancient Egyptian faience Taweret late period amulet - with antique purchase box

Description:

During the Late Period, Taweret amulets were mass-produced in vibrant blue and green faience, symbolising the life-giving waters of the Nile and the protection of expectant mothers. These figurines typically depict the deity as a bipedal hippopotamus with feline limbs and a crocodile tail, a fierce combination designed to ward off malevolent spirits. Their widespread presence in domestic and funerary contexts reflects a heightened Late Period emphasis on personal piety and the magical safeguarding of the vulnerable.
