Description from the seller
IMPORTANT!
Due to new custom regulations we can no longer ship outside the E.U. Please make sure you have an EU shipping address before bidding.
- Strung on modern wire with Silver Lobster Lock(925).
- Total length: 45 cm. Hanger: 4 cm. Average bead size: 2-4 mm.
- Toth is the Egyptian god of the moon, magic, the calender, writing and wisdom. Two holy animals were associated with Toth, the Ibis and the Baboon.
The association with the Baboon was born because the Baboon was the symbol of the rising sun and the origin of creation. The Baboon makes a shrill noise at sunrise at which they announced a new day.
