Figurine of Birth Goddess Taweret Holding an Ankh (Sign of Life)
Egyptian
This carefully modelled statuette of the hippopatamus goddess, Taweret (in Greek: Thoeris), is cut off at the thighs. She holds the Ankh symbol with both hands in front of her beneath her belly. The tripartite wig falls on sagging breasts, and ends in a crocodile tail in back. The tail is mostly missing.
