Cf. C. Andrews, Amulets of Ancient Egypt, British Museum, 1994, pp.40-41, fig.39b. Carol Andrews observes that although the male hippopotamus was considered the epitome of evil, the female although fierce was considered benevolent and protective. Taueret, with her pregnant woman's body, bared hippopotamus teeth and crocodile's tail came to be considered the forceful protector of women in childbirth.Bonhams, subastador
