EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the ancient Egyptian goddess Taweret, a benevolent and likeable deity revered for her protective role during pregnancy and childbirth. Taweret, represented as a hippopotamus or a woman with the head of a hippopotamus, was a cherished figure in Egyptian religion and mythology. The hippopotamus, a large and powerful creature, was believed to embody the destructive forces of nature, but Taweret transformed it into a symbol of nurturing and maternal love. The image showcases Taweret in her full glory, adorned with elaborate jewelry and holding protective symbols such as the ankh, the symbol of life, and the shen ring, a symbol of power and strength. The goddess is often depicted with a menacing expression, yet her role as a protector of women and children softens her image, making her a beloved figure in Egyptian culture. Taweret was believed to protect women during labor and childbirth, ensuring a safe and healthy delivery for both mother and child. She was also invoked for protection against various dangers, including evil spirits and the forces of chaos. The goddess's popularity extended beyond Egypt, as evidenced by the discovery of Taweret figurines and amulets in various parts of the ancient world, from Greece to Nubia. This historical print offers a glimpse into the rich and complex world of ancient Egyptian religion and mythology, providing a fascinating insight into the beliefs and practices of one of the world's oldest civilizations. The image of Taweret, with her powerful yet nurturing presence, continues to captivate and inspire us, reminding us of the enduring power of the human spirit and the importance of protection and love in our lives.
