***Beautiful handmade ceramic ANU pendant made of high-fire clay. I formed these pendants, dried them for several days then carved them with the ancient Sumerian ANU symbol, fired them for many hours, and then glazed and fired them once again.
The pendants measure roughly 1-1/4" by 3/16" thick (30mm x 4mm).
**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.
