Hathor Sistrum 12 3/4"

Hathor, the Egyptian Mother of the Gods.

The heavenly womb, Hathor brought forth in primeval time herself, never having been created. Her temples were birthing rooms bearing images of the seven frame drum and sistrum playing Hathors who brought blessed souls to newborns.These deities conferred their protection upon the newborn child.

During childbirth, in ancient Egypt, a woman would squat on a pair of elaborately decorated clay bricks, that show a woman transformed into a goddess at the moment of giving birth, and recite spells to call on Hathor, the goddess of fertility and motherhood in an effort to protect her newborn child. Birth was not just a physical event, but a supercharged magical and religious time. Ancient Egyptians equated the birth of a child to the birth of the sun on the eastern horizon.

A goddess of pleasure and royal succession Hathor is older than the earliest Egyptian dynasties.

The sistrum's metallic ringing has been cleansing and purifying sacred space for thousands of years.

Queen Kiya Bust 6"

Queen of the Nile

Queen Kiya was "the Favorite" and the "Greatly Beloved" second wife of Akhenaten, one of the most controversial pharohs of Egypt. There were many representations of her at Amarna, where she is thought to have held considerable power. Kiya probably was a foreign Indo-European princess, known originally as Tadukhipa ("Dark Night") sent from Mitanni (Syria) to be married to Amenhotep III. Since her name has been discovered, Kiya has remained very mysterious.

She followed Nefertiti ("The beautiful woman has come") as queen for a short time, and was followed by Akhenaten's daughter Meritaten. Queen Kiya is thought to be the mother of two other pharohs, the famous King Tutankhamun and Smenkhkare.

Her hairstyle of overlapping curls, known as the Nubian wig, was worn only by adults and was popular among the female members of Akhenaten's family. The center of the forehead once held a uraeus, the divine cobra worn exclusively by royalty.

Akhenaten and his family fell from favor by denying all other Egyptian gods and goddesses except the Sun God, Aten. Some equate him with that other great father of monotheistic religion from Egypt, Moses.
