Ancient Egyptian Bags
Description: Isis was an important religious figure within the Ancient Egyptian pantheon. Wife to Osiris and mother to Horus, she wielded considerable power and was known for her skill in magic. She is often depicted in a winged form with a throne on her head, the throne being part of the hieroglyphs used to spell her name. I have based my version of Isis off various New Kingdom artifacts.
Description: This design is based off a piece of Ancient Egyptian artwork located in The Met depicting a goddess making an offering, possibly of some sort of reed. The hieroglyphs are damaged, but the text indicates a king who is beloved of "Atum in the Hwt-Sr." The original artwork was damaged and I have maintained this in my version making a unique take on "traditional" renderings of Ancient Egyptian designs!
Description: William the Hippo- Ancient Egyptian figurine - The little hippopotamus figurine was made in Egypt around 1961 (BC not the 60s!)–1878 B.C. and placed in a tomb to magically guarantee the rebirth of the deceased. Several thousand years passed before it was excavated (in 1910) and became part of The Met collection (in 1917)
