A wallet featuring the Assyrian Tree of Life, bringing together symbols of growth, prosperity, and protection in an elegant design inspired by ancient Iraqi heritage.
The design of this wallet revives one of the most recognizable symbols of ancient Assyrian art: the sacred Tree of Life, surrounded by the Assyrian king and winged guardians. The engraving combines the symbolism of growth and abundance with protection and the preservation of what is valuable. Its historical details give the wallet a distinctive character beyond everyday use, making it a piece that reflects authenticity, prosperity, and pride in Iraqi heritage.
The engraving represents the Ritual of Growth and Purification of the Throne. According to the product description, it is inspired by a stone relief that once decorated the Northwest Palace of the Assyrian king Ashurnasirpal II in Nimrud, dating to the ninth century BCE. At the center of the scene stands the sacred Tree of Life, symbolizing growth, abundance, and continuing prosperity. The Assyrian king appears on both sides holding his sceptre, representing his guardianship of this prosperity and his commitment to preserving it. The scene also features winged guardians known as the Apkallu, carrying a pine cone and a bucket of sacred water as part of a symbolic ritual associated with purification, protection, and the removal of evil.
Sun Protection: 1. Keep leather away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent cracking. 2. Use a leather conditioner every 3 to 6 months to protect it from drying out. Avoid Water: Avoid moisture. If the item gets wet, gently dry it with a soft cloth. Avoid Chemicals: Completely avoid using wet wipes, perfumes, and alcohol, as these remove the protective layer and cause the leather to crack. Deal with Stains: Clean stains immediately. For stubborn stains, use a leather cleaner. Avoid Overfilling: Do not overfill your wallet with cards and papers, as this stretches the leather fibers and causes them to lose their shape. Protect Your Back Pocket: Avoid placing your wallet in your back pocket while sitting to protect it from constant pressure and warping. Ideal Storage: Never store it in plastic bags, as leather needs to "breathe" to prevent mold.
