Blue Hippo Statue – Taweret, Goddess of Protection

Blue Hippo Statue – Taweret, Goddess of Protection — Museum Reproduction, Not an Original Antiquity

This handmade blue alabaster statue reproduces Taweret (also called Ipet or Apet), the hippopotamus goddess of ancient Egyptian mythology. Taweret was revered as a protector of the household and of women in childbirth; ancient Egyptians called her "The Lady of Magical Protection" and believed she warded off danger and ensured abundance and nourishment. Hippopotamus figurines like this one are a well-documented type of protective object from ancient Egyptian households.
