The Uraeus is the stylized, upright form of an Egyptian cobra (asp, serpent, or snake), used as a symbol of sovereignty, royalty, deity, and divine authority in ancient Egypt.

The Uraeus is a symbol for the goddess Wadjet, who was one of the earliest Egyptian deities and who often was depicted as a cobra. She became the patroness of the Nile Delta and the protector of all of Lower Egypt. The pharoahs wore the Uraeus as a head ornament: either with the body of Wadjet atop the head, or as a crown encircling the head; this indicated Wadjet\'s protection and reinforced the pharaoh\'s claim over the land. In whatever manner that the Uraeus was displayed upon the pharaoh\'s head, it was, in effect, part of the pharaoh\'s crown. The pharaoh was recognized only by wearing the Uraeus, which conveyed legitimacy to the ruler. Several goddesses associated with or being considered aspects of Wadjet are depicted wearing the Uraeus also.

The Charm Size Pendant is in GOOD to EXCELLENT condition with MINIMAL signs of wear for its age. It measures approximately 7/8 inches tall and a 1/2 inch wide at its widest point. Plus, it weighs a delicate 1.6 grams.Please note that I promise to ship within 3-5 Business days of receiving payment via USPS Priority Mail which includes tracking and $50 worth of insurance.
