Nephthys Hair-Sword
Inspired by the Egyptian Goddess Nephthys. Goddess of death and mourning.
A walk through the art:
At the pommel is a rendition of the symbol scene about her head in the art found in the interior of the coffin of Imenemipet (1069-945 BCE). Nephthys appears on the left, of the depiction with the same symbol above her head.
At the hilt of the Hair Sword is a kite with outstretched wings. The kite, revered for its sharp vision and grace in flight, reflects Nephthys’s role as a guardian of the living and the dead, helping souls navigate their transition to the afterlife.
The twin crescent moons on the handles symbolize the balance of light and dark, life and death, echoing Nephthys’s position alongside her sister, Isis. Together, they embody the eternal cycles of transition and renewal, offering a reminder of the interconnectedness of all existence.
The ankh resting on the inner curve of each crescent moon symbolizes eternal life and rebirth.
The blade of the hair dagger is adorned with a hieroglyphic motif.
Materials: Steel and zinc alloy, nickel and lead-free
Dimensions: Approx. 6.5 inches long
Uses: while it is designed to be a hair-stick, hair-sword, or hair-dagger, it can also be used as an athame, altar decor, letter opener, bookmark, decor for a potted plant, a prop for an art doll, or tucked into a belt, thigh garter, or hat band. I'm sure there are even more ways to slay.
