The Sumerian Dingir Star Symbol Pendant Necklace reproduces the ancient cuneiform sign for the divine in sterling silver. Eight rays spread from the centre, each ending in the wedge shaped head of a reed stylus mark, so the star keeps the look of the original clay impressions.
In Sumerian writing the dingir star was placed before the name of a god and also stood for An, the sky. It is one of the oldest written symbols in the world, a star that meant heaven itself.
Choose this dingir necklace for a friend fascinated by Mesopotamia, an archaeology or linguistics graduate, or anyone who collects meaningful symbols. It wears well on its own as a conversation piece.
