A charming #Egyptian figurine of a hedgehog, made of faience, dating ca 1900 BC, from Thebes, #Egypt. The Egyptians associated hedgehogs with rebirth. On display at Neues Museum Berlin 📷 me 🏺

#InternationalCatDay: a terrific #Egyptian gold finger-ring with a carnelian bezel in form of a #cat. The ring is presumably related to the goddess Bastet, who was worshipped in the form of a lion and a cat. 🐈 📷 The British Museum, 1947,1011.2

We all need a a timeline cleanse! A tiny #Egyptian #frog amulet, made of carnelian (height 0.9 cm). Because of their numerous offspring, #frogs were considered a symbol of fertility. Dating c. 1540-1296 BC, New Kingdom. A lovely weekend to all of you 🐸 📷Cleveland Museum of Art

Not strictly fitting the criteria for #reliefwednesday, but so stunning that who cares, right? #Ptolemaic #Egyptian canopic jars depicting the four sons of #Horus. From l-r, they are Duamutef. Hapy, Imsety and Qebehsenuef.

Models of everyday life were deposited in #Egyptian tombs. They were supposed to support the deceased in the afterlife. One of the most charming examples is the model of a #cow giving birth. Carved in wood, painted. Probably from Meir, #Egypt, dating c. 2040-1985 BC. 📷 Royal Ontario Museum 🏺
The photo shows a wooden model of a cow giving birth accompanied by two men. One man calms the cow while the other ensures a proper delivery.The calf emerges from his mother, licking the hand of the man.

This #Egyptian faience hippo statuette is painted with lotus flowers and buds, found in its marshy environment. The lotus flowers - closing every night and reopening again in the morning - also represented regeneration and rebirth. 🏺 1/ @alisonfisk.bsky.social 1938-1539 BCE. #BrooklynMuseum 📸 me
Blue faience hippo statuette with black line drawings of lotus flowers and buds on stalks painted on its surface (including its face). In a way, it's like seeing the hippo through the marsh plants of its environment.
