Libra Eco Tote Bag — 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 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 gold balance scale with two hanging pans, perfectly even, and a bright star above each pan. The Libra symbol is in a gold cartouche in the upper left, and the real Libra constellation is in the upper right with bold stars. LIBRA spans the bottom in worn gold capitals. 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.
