When I was looking at the Egyptian floral jewellery, I noticed that most of their floral jewellery have a lotus flower and sometimes lotus flower is repeated in one piece of jewellery. The lotus flower in Egypt is used as a religious flower. "Replete with religious symbolism, flowers and bouquet played a major part in the cult of gods."
