The image of Tawaret first emerged in the Early Dynastic Period (3000 BCE).
It has the body of a hippopotamus, the limbs of a lion, and the tail of a crocodile.

It was noted that the female hippopotamus is fiercely protective of her young. It was during this period that protective hippopotamus pendants first emerged.
Her powerful appearance is thought to instill fear in evil spirits. Historically, women have worn amulets in her likeness during childbirth as they symbolize motherhood and fertility and are also integral to the safe passage of life.

There are reverse-set the diamonds in her paws to signify her protective power and adorned her with diamonds throughout.  Her belly is not hollow but of solid gold to symbolize fertility.
