Egyptian Goddess pendent of the River Nile, Matt Pewter Pendant on black cord. Regeneration and the Giver of Life This image of the Nile Goddess appeared around 4000 b.c. She has a bird like face and wing like arms. She symbolises regeneration, as she is a blend of bird, woman and deity. Her well rounded lower half represents the cosmic or primal egg. The cosmic egg was said to have been the basis of all cosmic matter from which the universe is formed.
