HISTORY: Each of these boxes is based on a significant symbol from ancient Egyptian culture or mythology:
ANKH - Symbol of life. Only kings and queens were allowed to carry this symbol, indicating the power to give life or take it away from lesser mortals. The ancient original for this reproduction was a case cover for a mirror, part of the funerary treasures in the tomb of King Tutankhamun.
EYE OF HORUS - was a symbol of the power of the god of light, and therefore a popular amulet for protection and good luck.
THE SCARAB - The scarab was associated very early on in Egypt with the generative forces of the rising sun and with the concepts of eternal renewal.
Thus the beetle was equated with the creator Got Atum from early times. Scarabs became potent amulets that were often placed upon the breasts of mummies in the position of the heart as a symbol of new life, and were then weighed against the feather of truth in the final judgment. They were usually inscribed with part of chapter 30 of the Book of the Dead.
