Blue Faience Hedgehog
Hedgehogs had a favourable reputation in ancient Egypt, and were often seen as a symbol of rebirth and renewal of life. This was likely due to their reappearances after long periods of absence while hibernating.
Middle Kingdom, 12th Dynasty, ca. 1900 BC. Now in the Ägyptisches Museum, Berlin. 10250
