Cancer Eco Tote Bag — Ancient Egypt

Cancer is the sign of protection. It stands for loyalty, deep feelings, and taking care of the people you love. If you were born June 21 – July 22, this one is yours.

WHAT THE ART MEANS

The design is a square emblem that fills the whole side of the bag, so it reads from across a room. At the center is a crab with a carved, beetle-like shell sitting under a large gold crescent moon. The Cancer symbol is in a gold cartouche in the upper left, and the real Cancer constellation is in the upper right with bold stars. CANCER spans the bottom in worn gold capitals. The crescent moon is included because the Moon rules Cancer, and the shell is carved like a scarab, an Egyptian symbol of protection. A cartouche is the oval, rope-edged frame Egyptians carved around a name that mattered, so putting the zodiac symbol inside one treats your sign like a name worth protecting.

The whole Ancient Egypt collection is drawn in antique gold, sandstone, and teal with deep lapis blue, printed in a flat, carved-relief style like painted stone. It is meant to look like something dug up rather than something printed — old, warm, and a little worn. We are not claiming ancient Egyptians drew the zodiac this way. We took their art style and used it to tell the sky’s story.
