專家說明

Taweret was the patron goddess of women in childbirth and was one of the most popular household deities. She combined human attributes with that of the hippopotamus, lion and crocodile, in a ferocious look to frighten away evil demons. The use of red jasper may link her to the desert, the god Seth and destruction, therefore enhancing her power to fight evil.
