The Silver Cartcouhe – Scarab and Lotus Bracelet is a beautiful addition to your unique collection. Ancient Egyptians believed that the Royals (Pharaohs) names are inscribed in a Cartouche for protection. Furthermore when surrounded in a circle form, this will also provide eternal protection for that name from evil spirits.

The scarab was a popular design for good luck charms in ancient Egypt, for seals used to stamp documents, and for jewelry made from clay or precious gems. Some had inscriptions, like the owners name or a brief message such as “congratulations on your new child”. The scarab also symbolized the restoration of life. It is also a symbol of transformation and spontaneous creation in Ancient Egypt.

Furthermore the rich colors used in the scarab design had meaning. Red signified the god, Ra. Blue symbolized the Nile.

The Lotus flower was one of the most important religious Egyptian Symbols in the mythology of ancient Egypt. The Lotus is used as a symbol in ancient Egyptian art representing the sun, of creation, rebirth and was a symbol of Upper Egypt. As a symbol of the sun it is closely associated with Atum-Ra, the Sun god and later with Nefertum, lotus god of perfume. Lotus flowers, also called water lilies, open in the morning and close again at night symbolizing rebirth and regeneration. The lotus flower, water lily, was also used to symbolize the deceased upon entering the underworld and the process of rebirth, regeneration and reincarnation.

You can find the Lotus Symbol, or motif, in honored places throughout Egypt. On the architecture, especially on the capitals of Egyptian pillars. Also in the tomb Hieroglyphics, papyrus, on thrones, headdresses of the divine pharaohs.

It grows in muddy swamps. The flower extends out of the water and blossoms into fifteen white or pink oval shaped spreading petals. At its center is a curious flat seedcase. It is both ornamental and sweet smelling.
