The frog goddess Heket
European Museums, The British MuseumThe frog goddess Heket
The frog goddess Heket watched over childbirth, a connection forged by the myriad tadpoles visible on the Nile banks. Small statuettes offered as votive gifts at many early temples are evidence of her popularity. The larger statue of andesite porphyry is one of the few sizeable animal sculptures surviving from the Early Dynastic period. It might have been a cult statue, or a royal gift to a shrine.
