This beautiful winged Isis necklace is a beautiful representation of one of ancient Egypt’s most powerful and popular goddesses, bringing magic and healing.
Considered by many to be the Great Mother Goddess, Isis, the goddess of healing and magic, was crucial to ancient Egyptian religious beliefs. She is known today by her Greek name Isis; however, the ancient Egyptians called her Aset. Her name translates to “Queen of the Throne” which is reflected in her headdress, which is typically a throne.
Isis had magical powers of healing; she was able to heal wounds, even to revive humans from death. Also associated with Hathor, Isis was revered as a mother goddess and most statues of Isis include the crown of a solar disk with the cow horns that represent Hathor. Jewelry in the image of Isis most often included outstretched wings to represent the far reach of her powers.
The ancients also adored Lapis Lazuli, thought to represent the heavens, so the addition of this stone is meant to extend the magical powers of Isis to the afterlife.
Pewter and lapis with 18″ gold plated snake chain.
Necklace comes in a gift box.
