Khepri is a vessel in the shape of an Egyptian scarab that has been awarded a sacred status by different cultures of different ages. Made from fine ceramic and decorated with a mix of glossy and matte glazes as well as precious metals, this vessel represents a piece of the spiritual component from past cultures with its symbolic and ritual value. Khepri represents the Egyptian scarab – the symbol of eternal rebirth, man’s constant evolution through the free soul’s reincarnations. In a modern context, the scarab enters the home as a vessel intended to guard the things we love most, a special home for our most precious possessions. This vessel takes an artistic natural appearance to become a memory keeper reminding us of the close relationship we had with the past.
