Sistrum and Djed. This is a quick note about those wire snakes (image A) of a sistrum, that have the same shape as the snake in image B, which I posted about twice on Jan 3rd, ( https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15sCzkKfgt/ and https://www.facebook.com/share/p/198W7WsDXx/ ) and I think the horizontal part of the snake path represents the horizontal plane of a torus, and as such, it can be marking the barrier within a portal between two realities.

Sistrum wire snakes share the same shape as the snake marking the torus horizontal plane, while the djed has four lines representing stacked barriers

I've posted about the djed on image C ( https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19jmgcNRkT/ ) and how it's 4 lines seem to represent stacked barriers of stacked realities, similar to the stupa symbol. Image D is a modern surreal equivalent of C, where the brim of each cup is the boundary to a higher reality.

Image E, F,G and H are showing the very old concept of higher realities stacked above our own.

Summary: Just a freshly gotten idea about what the sistrum could be about.
