Description Terms of Sale
Item Description: Translate description
A rare and evocative painted stucco wall fragment depicting the image of Taweret, the protective hippopotamus goddess of childbirth and fertility. Dating to the Late Period, circa 664–332 BC, the fragment preserves a portion of a wall painting showing Taweret in profile, rendered in red, blue, and black pigments, with traces of her characteristic features—rounded body, leonine limbs, and crocodile tail. Of special note is the inlaid faience necklace still affixed to the surface below the painted figure, possibly representing an offering collar or a symbolic protective amulet integrated into the composition. Fragments like this would have originally decorated the walls of domestic chapels or temple spaces dedicated to household protection and rebirth. The presence of both painting and applied faience makes this a highly desirable and rare survival of ancient Egyptian mixed-media wall art.
