To Live Forever Earrings
The hieroglyphs "to live forever" decorate ancient Egyptian temple and tomb walls and most objects found inside them. Egyptians mummified their bodies and protected them in a coffin housed in a tomb. Tombs were filled with objects both for reaching and use in the next world. Once they reached the next world and passed the test that proved they had lived a truthful life, Egyptians expected to live forever under the rule of the king of the dead, Osiris.Also available in Blue.
