Puzzle Description:

The Djed (on the left) is an Egyptian symbol of stability that is depicted as a column with a broad base and four parallel bars. On the right is the lotus flower, a symbol of creation and rebirth.

The Djed column represents stability and the backbone of the god Osiris. This symbol was often painted on the bottom of coffins where the deceased's backbone would rest. The Djed was sometimes created as an amulet of stability and regenerative power.

Thanks, Gator. I remember spending a lot of time getting this one just right. It's nice when someone appreciates the design that goes into an intentionally challenging solve.

My sentiments exactly. :) (I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I would feel that way!)
