Statuette of Hippo Goddess
Late Period or later
This tiny amulet probably represents the hippo goddess who during the later periods of Egyptian history is called Taweret. Casually made from a mold of poorly mixed faience, this example lacks the careful detail often seen on other examples. Its small size and characteristics are typical of late Pharaonic examples depicting this deity.
