Long associated with Egyptian royalty the symbol of the asp has become synonymous with ancient nobility. While the term asp refers to different types of venomous snakes found throughout Egypt it is believed that most references are to what is known today as the Egyptian cobra. Of course, it is the venom of the asp that is most famously and erroneously associated with the death of Cleopatra as made famous in Shakespeare’s play Antony and Cleopatra. While snakes and serpents have a long tradition of imagery and symbolism the asp holds a unique place as it was favored for jewelry amongst the prestigious of Egyptian society.
