Spiritual meaning
The blue lotus closes underwater each night and opens again at dawn — to the Egyptian mind, an image of the sun being born from the primeval waters every morning.
Historical background
A constant motif in tomb painting and temple column capitals, especially tied to Upper Egypt; also used in banqueting scenes, worn and inhaled for its scent as part of ritual and pleasure alike.
