We now know not only who lies in the shadow of the statue (or rather inside it) -- but of whom the statue is a likeness.  Taweret represents the hippopotamus and is the Goddess of Motherhood.


Here is the revealing bit of text from the Season 5, Episode 16 recap:

And as the camera pulls back, we see what we've been waiting to see since we first glimpsed that four-toed foot over three years ago... the towering, majestic statue of the Egyptian goddess Taweret.


Wikipedia gives us this nugget on Taweret:

Taweret became seen, very early in Egyptian history, as a deity of protection in pregnancy and childbirth.

In most subsequent depictions, Taweret was depicted with features of a pregnant woman. In a composite addition to the animal-compound she was also seen with pendulous breasts, a full pregnant abdomen, and long, straight human hair on her head.
