Amulet of Taweret
The Amulet of Taweret by Unknown Artist depicts a blue-green glazed ceramic or faience amulet. The amulet is rectangular in shape with rounded edges. It features a figure of Taweret standing on her hind legs, with her front paws resting on a horizontal object. The figure has a human face and a hippopotamus body. She wears a crown or headdress on her head and holds an object in her right hand. There are two distinct holes in the amulet's design: one behind Taweret and another below her front arm. The amulet's surface shows signs of wear, with visible chipping and discoloration. It is set against a plain gray background.
