Star of Ishtar

Star of Ishtar or Star of Inanna is a symbol of the ancient Sumerian goddess Inanna and her East Semitic counterpart Ishtar. Alongside the lion, it was one of Ishtar's primary symbols. Because Ishtar was associated with the planet Venus, the star is also known as the Star of Venus.  

Designed November 2019 for Rutkovsky Beads

Classic mandala was first, but I was not happy with the shape 

and I wanted to fix feather beads (they were moving.

 Double sided mandala pendant looks much better, feather beads were fixed by adding seed beads.

Pendant has a groove around the middle, cavities (tunnels) were formed by joining 

the opposite parts of the pendant and they can be used for a cord.
