Ancient Egypt Socks
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 hand-carved block print depicts the Ancient Egyptian god Thoth in his Ibis form. The image is based on an original illustration from a papyrus of the Book of the Dead created in the 19th Dynasty. He is holding a neb sign (a basket) with an ankh (the symbol of life) and two was scepters (a symbol of power or well-being for a deceased person.) I've recreated this as a block print and printed it by hand before scanning it to create this design.
