Likewise, Taweret gradually absorbed qualities of these goddesses and is commonly seen wearing the Hathoric sun disc that is <a href="/wiki/Iconography" title="Iconography">iconographically</a> associated with both Hathor and Isis.<sup id="cite_ref-Pinch_142_8-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Pinch_142-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>This cosmic image continues to be seen in later periods, although the tendency was to show such divine astral bodies more abstractly. One example can be found in the late Ptolemaic or early Roman <i><a href="/wiki/Book_of_the_Faiyum" title="Book of the Faiyum">Book of the Faiyum</a></i>, a local <a href="/wiki/Monograph" title="Monograph">monograph</a> dedicated to the <a href="/wiki/Faiyum" title="Faiyum">Faiyum</a> and its patron gods, namely <a href="/wiki/Sobek" title="Sobek">Sobek</a>-<a href="/wiki/Ra" title="Ra">Re</a>. Taweret is depicted in her standard form with a crocodile on her back and a small upright crocodile in her right hand. She is shown in the section of the papyrus that is meant to depict the Faiyum's central <a href="/wiki/Lake_Moeris" title="Lake Moeris">Lake Moeris</a>. The papyrus depicts the solar journey of Re with Lake Moeris as the place into which the sun god descends for his nightly journey, traditionally thought of as the underworldly realm of the <a href="/wiki/Amduat" title="Amduat">Amduat</a>. Taweret appears here as a well known constellation to demonstrate the celestial and otherworldly properties of Lake Moeris. She also serves as a fine protective divine mother to Sobek-Re during his precarious journey. In this respect, she fulfills the role of <a href="/wiki/Neith" title="Neith">Neith</a>, the primary divine mother of Sobek. This Taweret figure is labeled as "Neith the Great, who protects her son", demonstrating the malleability of the hippopotamus goddess form. When in the role of a protective mother, it is not uncommon that other goddesses would appear in the form of Taweret.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Taweret was featured in other myths as well during these later periods. In the famed <a href="/wiki/Metternich_Stela" title="Metternich Stela">Metternich Stela</a>, Isis tells <a href="/wiki/Horus" title="Horus">Horus</a> that he was reared by a "sow and a dwarf", almost certainly referring to Taweret and her fellow <a href="/wiki/Apotropaic" class="mw-redirect" title="Apotropaic">apotropaic</a> demon-god <a href="/wiki/Bes" title="Bes">Bes</a>, respectively. Although the date of this stela is relatively late, the central role of Taweret in the successful raising of children is still being stressed, showing the continuity of her character.

These violent theriomorphic deities take on some of the aspects of the animals that they represent – both to the benefit and detriment of humans. Taweret's predatory form allows her to ward away evil from the innocent. Likewise, Taweret's nurturing aspects are also reinforced in her iconography, as she frequently is shown with a pregnant belly, and pendulous human breasts. These breasts are shared by the god of the Nile inundation, <a href="/wiki/Hapi_(Nile_god)" title="Hapi (Nile god)">Hapi</a>, and signify regenerative powers. Taweret's riverine form allows her to participate in that which annually revives the Nile Valley: the inundation personified by Hapi. It is partly due to her role in this event that may share this iconographic feature with Hapi. She frequently is seen holding the <i>sa</i> hieroglyphic sign (Gardiner V17), which literally means "protection".<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Egyptian_-_Magic_Wand_Depicting_a_Procession_of_Deities_-_Walters_71510.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/Egyptian_-_Magic_Wand_Depicting_a_Procession_of_Deities_-_Walters_71510.jpg/220px-Egyptian_-_Magic_Wand_Depicting_a_Procession_of_Deities_-_Walters_71510.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="159" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/Egyptian_-_Magic_Wand_Depicting_a_Procession_of_Deities_-_Walters_71510.jpg/330px-Egyptian_-_Magic_Wand_Depicting_a_Procession_of_Deities_-_Walters_71510.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/Egyptian_-_Magic_Wand_Depicting_a_Procession_of_Deities_-_Walters_71510.jpg/440px-Egyptian_-_Magic_Wand_Depicting_a_Procession_of_Deities_-_Walters_71510.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1799" data-file-height="1301" /></a><figcaption>This <a href="/wiki/Apotropaic_wand" class="mw-redirect" title="Apotropaic wand">apotropaic wand</a> (c. 1880 to 1700 BCE) shows a procession of protective deities, including a hippopotamus goddess.

Egyptian Museum (Turin, Italy)</figcaption></figure><p>Taweret's image served a functional purpose on a variety of objects. The most notable of these objects are amulets, which protected mothers and children from harm. Such amulets, appearing before 3000 BCE, were popular for most of ancient Egyptian history. She also consistently appeared on household furniture throughout history, including chairs, stools, and headrests.<sup id="cite_ref-H-W_352_9-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-H-W_352-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Apotropaic objects became popular in the Middle Kingdom (c. 2055–1650 BCE) and are thought to have been used in rituals related to pregnancy and birth. As is aforementioned, ivory wands and knives showing long processions of deities became widely used in this period. These objects have been shown on tomb paintings in the hands of nurses and wear patterns on the tips indicate that these nurses likely used them to draw protective patterns in the sand. Taweret is featured on almost all known wands, as her powers were invoked particularly to protect children and their mothers. The other deities are almost exclusively deities that accompany the mature sun god in his nightly journey through the dangerous <a href="/wiki/Amduat" title="Amduat">Amduat</a> (underworld). Taweret's inclusion among this company suggests a protective solar role. This is supported by later Ptolemaic (c. 332–30 BCE) conceptions of the goddess, which state that she reared – and in some traditions, birthed – the young sun god (cf. <a href="/wiki/Metternich_Stela" title="Metternich Stela">Metternich Stela</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Ritual objects bearing Taweret's image were popular in Egyptian households for the remainder of Egyptian history. Vessels bearing Taweret's shape became popular in the New Kingdom (c. 1550–1069 BCE). These vessels presumably purified the liquid that was poured from it, as Taweret was considered to be "She of the Pure Water". Often these vessels had openings through the nipples, emphasizing Taweret's maternal aspects.<sup id="cite_ref-H-W_352_9-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-H-W_352-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="In_popular_culture">In popular culture</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Taweret&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: In popular culture"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A giant statue of Taweret appears in the science-fiction television series <i><a href="/wiki/Lost_(2004_TV_series)" class="mw-redirect" title="Lost (2004 TV series)">Lost</a></i> and plays an important role in the backstory of the show's mysterious island.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Antonia Salib portrays Taweret in the <a href="/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe" title="Marvel Cinematic Universe">Marvel Cinematic Universe</a> (MCU) television series <i><a href="/wiki/Moon_Knight_(miniseries)" title="Moon Knight (miniseries)">Moon Knight</a></i> (2022).<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the show Taweret is the protector of the weights of the heart to the quil and helps people get to the afterlife through the field of reeds. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Taweret&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Ipy_(goddess)" title="Ipy (goddess)">Ipy (goddess)</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Taweret&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist reflist-columns references-column-width" style="column-width: 30em;"> <ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Geraldine Pinch, <i>Magic in Ancient Egypt</i> (London: British Museum Press, 1994), 39.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-2"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-2">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Jennifer Houser-Wegner, "Taweret", in <i>The Ancient Gods Speak: A Guide to Egyptian Religion</i>, ed.
