Egyptian Mirrors Add an Elegant Touch

At the age of nine, Tutankhamen became Pharaoh and reigned until his death at age eighteen. During Tutankhamen's reign, the ban on the old pantheon of deities and their temples was lifted, and priesthoods were restored to their former prominence and power. His modern fame may be accredited to the discovery of his almost completely intact tomb. His youthful looks depicted in the Egyptian Pharaoh Mirror capture our imaginations. He aided the development of the Egyptian artistic style, exemplified on the King Tut Sarcophagus Mirror.
Using items such as these in our homes adds a distinctive and elegant touch.

Egyptian Statues Beautify Our Homes

An especially fascinating category of Egyptian decor is statues. They reflect the grandeur of the rich styles favored by the elite of ancient Egyptian society. These statues depict such subjects as sand-colored obelisks, the mysterious sphinx, an Egyptian girl on a boat, and the goddess Isis with open wings. Gods and goddesses were a favorite subject of the Egyptians; these included Ptah (god of craftsmen), Khons (protector of night travelers), and Hathor (the personification of the Milky Way). Statues of ancient Egypt beautify our homes as they depict royalty as well as gods and goddesses from that long ago society.
