Cleveland Museum of Art

The Amulet of Taweret by an unknown artist is a small, green glazed faience figurine. The amulet depicts Taweret standing upright on a square base. She is shown with a pregnant belly and the head of a pig. Her arms are at her sides, with one arm bent and the other straight. The figure has a glossy patina with a mottled green color. The background is dark at the top and gradually lightens to gray towards the bottom.
