Eternal Flame Hand-fan

Introducing the ETERNAL FLAME hand-fan from the new and exclusive BREATH OF LIFE collection, a collaboration with multidisciplinary artist Francisca Oyhanarte. Celebrating the Ancient Egyptian's interest in the afterlife this bold and eye-catching print from Francisca perfectly demonstrates her passion for colour, mythology and symbolism.  With its burning flames flanked with Anubis, powerful and majestic winged sun, it celebrates the notion of eternal life; a fan to awaken the soul and celebrate its everlasting existence.  ANUBIS The symbol of Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of the dead was said to oversee every aspect of the process of dying. He facilitated mummification, protected the graves of the dead, and decided whether or not one’s soul should be granted eternal life. WINGED SUN Associated with divinity, royalty and power, the winged sun is a symbol of the soul and its eternity. It is often placed in temples as a memento to the dead of their eternal nature. It is a symbol of protection and became a popular protective amulet. Because of its solar reference, it has been connected with the sun god, Ra. ANKH Many early Egyptian artworks depict this sacred symbol being worn or held by gods and kings. Used as an amulet, the Ankh was believed to be able to grant the wearer long life and health. Ancient Egyptians even put ankhs in tombs to give energy to the resurrected spirit. It is said that the symbol can even carry on its power to anyone within a certain proximity to it. As such, it is believed to be a conduit for life or power that stems from the universe. The Ankh can also be used as a strong protection against evil, decay, and degeneration.
