Mem Paleo-Hebrew
Mem is connected to water, you can see it in its shape.
Mem is the first letter of water in the Hebrew mayim.
In Gematria, Mem stands for 40.
Mayim like a river a fluid form like water like mayim.
Twenty-two elemental letters.
God engraved them, carved them, weighed them, permuted them, and transposed them forming with them everything formed and everything destined to be formed….Thus all that is formed, all that is spoken emerges from one name
-Daniel C. Matt, The Essential Kabbalah, Castle Books, New Jersey, 1997, p. 102
Lost-Wax Bronze Casting - an ancient process
These pendants are fine art bronze castings using the lost wax method. The lost wax method of bronze casting was developed in the Ancient Near East in the late 4th millennium BCE, found then both in ancient Ur and Egypt.
This ancient process is used today to create fine art bronzes that embody the artist’s touch. In the pieces, you can see the imprint of the artist’s hand molding clay and modeling wax. It is a labor-intensive process, demonstrating fine craft with 5000 years of history utilized during the time of Abraham.
