Faiance
egyptian blue well made piece of tiny resin art.
The lotuses painted on the back and sides of the
hippo symbolize creation and rebirth, as well as representing its habitat.
The ancient Egyptian saw the male hippo as the embodiment of all that was
dangerous and wild. These figurines are usually found in tombs, their legs
deliberately broken to magically render the animal powerless.
In contrast, they also revered hippo Goddess Taweret,
as a goddess of maternity and a protector or women in childbirth.
Perfect for sandplay therapies.
