The abstract elegance of this amulet is timeless: it is kin to both stone age Venuses and the nudes of a 20th century master like Matisse. With just a few lines and curves, she evokes the eternally feminine. The tradition to which this exquisite figure belongs is older than civilization itself.

In whatever age and whatever guise she appears-- as Egyptian Isis, Babylonian Astarte, Roman Venus-- her power is strong and benevolent. A unique amulet certain to bless the wearer with its ancient magic.
