Aten's Disk & Ankh - Amulet Bag or Small Tapestry

Akhenaten tried to unite his people under one God, the Aten. This inspired king of Egypt introduced the Aten as a symbol of the Creative Force in the universe, a God having no physical image. A solar disk, which projected many downward rays ending in human hands or Ankhs, served as a representation of the one God worthy of worship. You can make this pattern into a reversible bag that uses only seven colors of Delicas, and has Aten's Disk on one side and a reproduction of a 16th dynasty Ankh on the other. An alternate application would be to bead it as a small tapestry.
