Green Umbel Award - for outstanding service to Nature or Music
Bundles
of papyrus flowers make a rustling noise when shaken, from which may have
evolved a metal rattle, the sistrum, used during rituals of devotion to
Hathor, the Egyptian patron goddess of beauty, love, sexuality, joy, dance and
music. The presentation occurred when she emerged from her divine papyrus swamp wherein lived papyrus, the Sacred Sedge, “...on which the immortality of man depends...” Pliny the Elder 79 AD.
An
award given to the followers of BwanaPapyrus
