This wall plaque displays classic ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics.
There is an apothocary, an anhk and the symbol for Ra the
Sun God. As all know hieroglyphs are not sentenses but we are inferring it represents freedom, potency and health.

As far back as 5,000 years ago Egypt had introduced a style that, with surprisingly little
change, continued for almost 3,000 years. Rules for the making of statues were rigidly
prescribed, as were social and religious customs. Religion was the dominant force in life on Earth and it required certain preparations for the life beyond. Sculpture was entirely associated with the needs of religion and the gods or with the earthly rulers who were regarded as their representatives.
Of the many treasures excavated in Egypt the limestone head of Queen Nofretete is one of the finest. The breath of life seems to animate the face. The painted, subtly modeled surface and graceful flow of neck and features create a sense of startling realism.

Arkahdia Arts Studio,
a European immigrant now living in New York started a studio dedicated to casting these pieces of Art. By focusing the business on two goals;(1) to save pieces which have been produced in another medium in bygone times, and (2) to bring new artist's work to the public, the product lines have prospered, delighted and excited.
