Hippopotamus, Egyptian 2040-1638 BC. “Hippos were fearsome beasts, and early kings are sometimes shown spearing roaring hippos in a scene that became a metaphor for imposing order on chaos… The hippopotamus was also a power for good. Tawaret, a hippo goddess, protected women in pregnancy and childbirth.” Collection: RISD Museum.
