TAWERET HIPPO BY ANALOGUE

The TAWERET Hippo is a highly recognizable accessory that surpasses the
confines of contemporary time and space. It is a beloved item among collectors due to its timeless and classic appeal, and it can be showcased in a variety of display settings.

This sculpture represents a modern interpretation of Taweret, the
ancient Egyptian goddess associated with fertility and the safeguarding of expectant mothers. In ancient mythology, Taweret was often depicted as a hippopotamus with physical attributes borrowed from other living forms, such as humans, lions, and crocodiles. Analogue’s Taweret Hippo embodies the essence of the goddess, including strength, resilience, and regenerative powers, but in a
contemporary and minimalistic form. In alignment with the symbolism of our
Tawaret Hippo, we recognize and value the role of women in our society, as it
represents protection and motherhood in ancient Egypt.
