ready for the kindergarten (by Lottakind) “Only a few days… my sweet little girl is going to the kindergarten on Monday. She is becoming a little hedgehog (so the name of her group).
I made a little charm for her bag.”
HEDGEHOG Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 12, about 1800 BC (via misterteapotpostcards) “Held in the Egyptian Museum, Berlin.
Inv. No. 10250. Faience *, about 9cm.
From the back of the card: During the Middle Kingdom miniature faience animal figures were placed in the grave with the deceased. The hedgehog is known already from prehistoric representations and later from tomb walls where he appears as game. In the form of similar small amulets or seals, he symbolised rebirth. Perhaps figures such as this charming hedgehog are a combination of both purposes.”
