More Detail

 

Amaterasu is the Japanese Sun Goddess, often shown as a central mirror in her shrines. She is the brilliant, shining Goddess who protects women from physical violence and shines her light on the world.

When Amaterasu hid in a cave, making the world barren and covered in darkness, the goddess Uzume drew her out by performing a bawdy dance that made fun of shamanic ritual. By exposing her breasts and playing with her genitals, she created an uproar that piqued Amaterasu's curiosity and she came out from her cave thus bringing light and life back to earth.

The Amaterasu Pendant is made from fired, glazed clay in a deep salmon/peach color. She is wrapped with sterling silver wire. The necklace is strung with pink/peach czech glass beads and sterling beads. Clasp is base metal.

Pendant length is 1.5."
Necklace Lengths up to 24"
