Hieroglyph Dangle Earrings

Artist: Alex Hossick The Hieroglyph Dangle Earrings display a series of hand carved symbols representing the “language of the gods” carefully crafted to combine modern simplicity and an ancient art. Discover the meanings of the symbols below: Mini Eye Talisman - Man adoring the revered eye. More than just the organ for sight, the eye in ancient Egyptian culture was believed to be an instrument of protection, healing, and action. Owl Talisman - Representing the letter 'm' in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, the owl was believed to protect spirits as they passed from one world to another, and was respected for its keen sense of sight and exceptional hunting skills. Vulture Talisman-  The Egyptian vulture was not only sacred to Egyptian culture and protected by the Pharaohs, but also represents the letter “A” in Egyptian hieroglyphs. Wax impressions of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs have been modified and transformed into wearable pieces of art through the lost wax casting process. Each piece is uniquely made by hand. These earrings are stud dangles - 42mm in height from end to end
