Anything I find that even remotely resembles something Egyptian I automatically bump it up to the top of the list. In this case, however, I decided to make these beauties from Historic Home Hardware my grand finale for our week of door knobs. I love, love, love, love, LOVE this sun, flower, and columns pattern in these Egyptian-motif Antique cast bronze doors knobs made around 1885 by Nashua Manufacturing.
Even the backs continue with a different, more obvious Egyptian pattern. According to Historic Home Hardware, during the Victorian era homeowners were enthralled by all things with an Egyptian, Persian or Chinese motif.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways
For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits.
Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it.
As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
