Ancient Egyptian symbols were a fusion between spritual and physical aspects that shaped their culture. Many of the symbols were used to bring good fortune or protection. Using the symbols in jewelry, pottery, and architecture were a way of passing their culture from one generation to another. Egyptians believed that time spent on Earth was only a part of an eternal existance with death only part of the journey.

Usage
Metal Maven Rolling Mill Component Die Use Guidelines
These Rolling Mill Component Dies are for rolling mill use only. We tested them with a hydraulic press and we were able to get impressions. However, we also found that after the first couple of pressings the plates became dented. This happened because the type of tool steel necessary for use in a rolling mill is softer than the type of steel for using in a hydraulic press.
Your die will arrive lightly oiled with a lubricant called CorrosionX. It can be found at most auto supply stores. We highly recommend you use it or some kind of machine oil to protect your investment, especially if you live in a humid climate. We use it to keep rust from forming on our steel pieces, dies, rolling mill rollers and other tools. It also helps your silver or copper release from the die.
When you first set you rolling mill rollers, take your die and place a piece of dead soft copper on top of it. We have found that 20-gauge and 18-gauge copper works best. Then, place a piece of craft foam on top of your metal. Place them into the opened rollers of your mill and gently close your rollers until they touch the top of your die, metal, and foam sandwich. Try rolling your die at that setting first to see if you get an impression. If you do not get a good impression, adjust your rollers tighter and test again. Rolling too tightly could damage your die or cause your die to form a drastic curve, so be careful to tighten in small increments.
You can find the craft foam on Amazon - search for Darice 2mm Foamie Roll, 36-inch by 60-inch, black.
