Libra Black Glossy Mug (15 oz) — Ancient Egypt

Libra is the sign of balance. It stands for fairness, kindness, and working to make things even between people. If you were born September 23 – October 22, this one is yours.

WHAT THE ART MEANS

The art wraps all the way around, and the black background blends into the black ceramic so the gold looks carved into the cup instead of stuck on it. One side is the name side: the Libra symbol in a gold cartouche, LIBRA in worn gold letters underneath, and the real Libra constellation traced in fine gold lines above. Turn the mug and the other side is a gold balance scale with two hanging pans, perfectly even, and a bright star above each pan. Slim columns of stars, lotus flowers, and ankhs frame each side of the handle. Both pans hang perfectly level, which is the whole message of the sign. Egyptians also weighed the heart on a scale, so the shape fits the setting. 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.
