***Beautiful handmade ceramic ANU pendant made of high fire clay. I formed this pendant, dried it for several days then carved it with the ancient Sumerian ANU symbol, fired for many hours, then glazed and fired once again.
The pendant measures roughly 1-1/8" x by 3/16" thick (30mm x 4mm) and is threaded onto a 1mm black cotton cord.
**Only one model has been made, unique creation, what you see in the photo is what you will receive. Colour will vary in intensity from PC monitor to smartphone screen.**
ANU
Mesopotamian sky-god, one of the supreme deities; known as An in Sumerian and Anu in Akkadian.
Anu belongs to the oldest generation of Mesopotamian gods and was originally the supreme deity of the Babylonian pantheon. Consequently, his major roles are as an authority figure, decision-maker and progenitor. In heaven he allows functions to other gods, and can increase their status at will; in the Sumerian poem Inana and Ebih (ETCSL 1.3.2), Inana claims that "Anu has made me terrifying throughout heaven" (l.66). On earth, he confers kingship, and his decisions are regarded as unalterable.
