## Khnum, Lord of the First Cataract

Khnum was one of the earliest known Egyptian gods. He was shown as a ram with horns that twist sideways, or as a man with a ram's head. His main temple stood on Elephantine, an island near Aswan.

Egyptians believed the Nile rose near the first cataract. Khnum was the god of that source, and they called him its lord.

## The Potter Who Made People

Khnum was a creator god. He shaped humans from clay on a potter's wheel. At the temple of Hatshepsut he is shown shaping the pharaoh's body and soul.

Ram god jewelry like this ties back to that making. The ram stood for creative heat and fertility.

## A Ram in Many Cultures

The ram has meant endurance, strength, knowledge and peace. In Christianity it stands for Christ as leader. Hebrew tradition made it a symbol of sacrifice. Iranian tradition made it a sign of virility.

In Greek myth the ram belongs to Odysseus and to Phrixus. A Khnum ram brooch carries all that weight on a coat.

## Wearing and Display

Pin the Khnum ram brooch to a wool coat, a cape or a scarf. It sits half an inch off the cloth. Wipe the antique gold with a soft cloth.

A round Egyptian brooch looks best against dark fabric.
