"Beeld van Thoueris" is a black and white photograph taken by G. Lekegian & Co. sometime between 1887 and 1900, depicting a statue of the Egyptian goddess Thoueris. Thoueris, depicted as a hippopotamus goddess, was believed to protect children and women during childbirth. The statue, possibly carved from stone, stands on a rectangular base, with the goddess's arms crossed at her chest and a crown atop her head. The photo was taken by the noted photographer G. Lekegian & Co. in Egypt, capturing the statue's intricate details and serving as a valuable record of ancient Egyptian art.
