A breathtaking wall-mounted sunken relief of the Weighting of the Heart ritual. The ancient Egyptians believed that getting to the afterlife was a difficult process that involves a lot of what seems to us like jumping through hoops, the final part of this process is what today we call the Weighing of the Heart. In the Hall of judgment, the soul would stand before a large golden scale where the jackal-headed god Anubis is weighing its heart against a pure ostrich feather symbolizing the ancient Egyptian goddess of truth and balance, Maat. If the heart is heavier than the feather, weighed down by the soul's wrongdoings, it'll be devoured by the monstrous Ammit, part crocodile, part leopard, part hippopotamus, and the soul will cease to exist forever. This divine piece of sculpture is truly a timeless work of art, but beyond its aesthetic appeal, it holds a meaningful symbol and great reminder for us to be always truthful, peaceful, and balanced. Perfect for home/office decorations and can be an astonishing gift for your friends, family members, co-workers, and beloved ones. ONLY 1 PIECE IS AVAILABLE!
