Bountiful Hapi Nile God Amulet Gold Plated Necklace

The earth cracks. The heat of Shemu bakes the black mud into pale dust. If the river does not rise, we starve. The granaries sit empty while mice gnaw at the corners. You know this fear. Every man knows it. Look at him. Hapi. Lord of the fishes and birds of the marshes. Heavy breasts. A heavy belly. Fat with the life of the Two Lands. He brings the thick black silt that covers the desperate fields. To wear his image is to call the water. It is a command to the hidden caverns of Elephantine. This amulet is plated in gold. The flesh of Re. It flashes against the collarbone like sunlight hitting the first crest of the floodwaters. The cheap faience beads peddled by riverbank boys crumble to nothing. This metal holds. The chain is strong enough for the long days of the harvest. Some wear the scarab and simply hope for tomorrow. Fools. Without the water, there is no tomorrow. The lotus does not bloom in dry sand. Fasten this around your neck. Feel the weight of the inundation.
