I came across this section of the Megillah ( Hebrew for Scroll of Esther) that was written on Papyrus in Ancient Greek, found in an Egyptian dump. All the scrolls found there are called the Oxyrhynchos scrolls. This particular fragment I saw was missing many letters but many could still be read. This inspired me to try to make different pieces using this fragile piece of history. I have tried to come up with different items rendering them in a faux ivory and bone, ebony and onyx, and antiqued to look as if these could have been found alongside the papyrus.

You can find all these in my other store, AlmostARTifacts and right now until the end of March the shipping is free on all Purim section items. Take a look and let me know what you think, I love comments!
wow, I was clueless you had this store. I love your "ancient artifacts"!

I love your new artifacts store. I love reading the Old Testament; Esther being one of my favorite stories. Your new jewelry captures the beauty of that time so well.
