PHARAONIC JEWELRY BOX

cults3d

To secretly store all your precious ones. ☺ No supports. I respected the hieroglyphic writing on the top of the box as much as possible (Each symbol represents letters or small words). The architecture of the whole is inspired by monuments and tombs. The figures on the sides are the Pharaoh on the right, Isis in front, and the spectres on the left who often accompanied the demi-gods during the ceremonies. Length: 195mm Width: 165mm Height: 105mm and 116mm with feet Gluing with CYANOLITE. A little history... On the top center we find the eye of Horus or Udjat which represents integrity, health, symbol of the victory of good over evil. At the death of Osiris, it is his brother Set who took over the power in Egypt. Wanting to avenge his father, Horus goes to war against his uncle. After many battles, Set is defeated and Horus takes back the throne of Egypt. However, during a battle, Horus loses an eye. The latter, broken into 6 pieces, is reconstituted by Thoth and returned to its owner. It was used in Egypt as a kind of good luck charm. It was thought, indeed, able to protect against diseases. the Udjat was also used by the Egyptians as an indicator of fractions the Hekat. This is a unit of volume serving for both liquids and solids. However, the sum of the fractions of the Udjat is only 63/64. Indeed, in the legend, when Thoth gathered the Lost Eye of Horus, a piece was missing. So Thoth added the remaining 1/64 to allow the Eye to function. Thus, the Udjat also became a symbol of knowledge because it was Thoth who brought the missing 1/64 to the calculations of the scribes, who thus placed themselves under his protection. In diagram you can see the image (Udjat1) that explains the 6 pieces. Bonding with CYANOLITE. Good printing.
