Bushcraft axe “Fleur-de-lis and Phoenix”-D2 Steel- Camping axe- felling, chopping, and middle splitting axe. Steel Iron 6th anniversary gift.
The fleur-de-lis has been around for centuries—it even appears in relics from ancient civilizations. One of the earliest surviving examples is on a gold helmet from the Scythians, a European nomadic people from the 7th to 3rd centuries BC. Other ancient examples occur worldwide. For example, a statue of the Indian emperor Kanishka (AD 127 to 150) sported the symbol.
What Is the Symbolism of the Fleur-de-lis?
The fleur-de-lis is an iconic symbol that permeates modern culture. You can find the design at the top of fence posts, on the north point of a compass, on the pattern of fabrics, and in the details of countless designs. With each use, the fleur-de-lis holds unique symbolism. In a religious context, it may denote purity. French monarchs used the symbol to denote the divine right to rule. Ancient Egyptians used it to represent the snake that bit and killed Cleopatra.
