Хекет (лягушка)

Лягушка в Древнем Египте была священным животным богини Хекет - богини плодородия и материнства, защитницы дома, покровительницы рождения и маленьких детей. Хекет обычно изображалась в виде лягушки, реже – в виде женщины с головой лягушки. Хекет также - ипостась Богини Хатор (Хатхор) - Богини любви, танца и красоты. Амулеты с лягушкой в Древнем Египте были связаны с воскрешением, процветанием, успешными родами, и долголетием.
