Set of 3 beautiful Pentagram Star pendants created from high fire white stoneware clay. Each pendant has been individually hand rolled by me, air dried for 3 full days, carved with the ancient Pentagram star, then fired for 8 hours at 1900F. After the firing, I glazed each pendant on BOTH sides with non toxic glazes and bits of Fine Silver then back in the kiln for several hours again. There is a red, turquoise and blue. The pendants average from 1 to 1-1/8 inch in diameter by 1/4 inch thick (25-29mm x 6mm ) and the holes are 3mm. Perfect for your beading projects, jewelry designs or where ever you may want to put them, have fun! **Only one set exists, unique creation, what you see in the photo is what you will receive. Color can appear more or less intense depending on your PC monitor or smart phone screen.** Origins of the Pentagram: A five pointed star, encased by an outer circle. Adopted by the first pagan practitioners it is always seen with it's apex pointing upward toward the Divine. The earliest known use of this sacred symbol can be found around 3500 BC at Ur of the Chaldees in Ancient Mesopotamia. In later periods of Mesopotamian art, the pentagram was used in royal inscriptions as a symbol of imperial power extending out to "the four corners of the world". The pentagram was also used by the Hebrews as a symbol of Truth and for the five books of the Pentateuch (The first five books of the Hebrew Scriptures). In Ancient Greece, the geometry of the pentagram and its metaphysical associations were explored by the Pythagoreans who considered it an emblem of perfection. It was called the Pentalpha. Early Hindu and Buddhist writings seem to share Pythagoras' view of the star and it's symbology. The Gnostics saw the pentagram as a 'Blazing Star'. Sharing it's symbology with the crescent moon it was related to the magik and mystery of the night time sky or the mysteries of the dark. Celtic Druids, saw the pentagram as a symbol of the Godhead.
