In ancient Egyptian religion and mythology, Taurt (also called Taweret, Thoueris, Opet, or Apet) was the hippopotamus goddess associated with childbirth and maternity. In her capacity as a goddess of creation, she was worshipped at the city of Karnak. Taurt, as Apet, was the personification of the ancient settlement Apt, from which the name Thebes was derived. Taurt was usually portrayed as a female hippopotamus standing upright, with large and pendulous human breasts, her left foot resting on a sa, a symbol of protection for river travelers. She was considered to be a form of the fertility goddess Hathor.

Article conforme à la description superbe objet bon communication avec le vendeur la seule chose qui peut être regrettable pour cette sorte d'article c'est qu'il n'y a pas de certificat d'authenticité

Agréablement surpris par la qualité de l'objet. mais j'ai des doutes sur l'authenticité; le collier est monté sur câble d'acier. pas de fermoir... Etonnant pour un objet dit "ancien"...

It's formed with ancient beads, same that all necklaces in other dealers and museums, mounted on modern thread, as is logical

Lovely necklace. Exactly as described and pictured. Well wrapped and packed.I would heartily recommend this seller, and would definitely buy from them again.
