It was the sacred animal of Serket (or Selket), the goddess of fertility, nature, and medicine. Serket was known as "She Who Tightens the Throat," giving her the power to both inflict and cure scorpion stings. She was a fierce protector of the pharaohs and one of the four guardian goddesses who watched over the canopic jars in the tomb. ​Perfect For: ​History Buffs & Egyptologists: An accurate artistic tribute to the New Kingdom aesthetic. ​Scorpio Zodiac Signs: A sophisticated and historical take on the scorpion astrological symbol. ​Boho & Eclectic Interiors: Adds a touch of mystique and warm, earthy tones (ochre, terracotta, and lapis lazuli) to any sofa or armchair. ​Talismanic Decor: Use it as a symbolic guardian for your home, invoking Serket’s protective power. ​Add a touch of timeless magic and royal history to your home decor with this vivid piece of antiquity.
