Okay, this one might be the stupidest idea I've ever had.

Nefertiti was a queen of Egypt and wife of King Akhenaton, who played a prominent role in changing Egypt's traditional polytheistic religion to one that was monotheistic, worshipping the sun god known as Aton. An elegant portrait bust of Nefertiti now in Berlin is perhaps one of the most well-known ancient sculptures.

Horus was the Egyptian sky god and a pharaoh of Egypt. He was the only child of Osiris and Isis, two central deities in the Egyptian pantheon. He would avenge the death of his father and become a pharaoh of Egypt.

Howard Carter was a British archaeologist and Egyptologist who discovered the intact tomb of the 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Tutankhamun in November 1922, the best-preserved pharaonic tomb ever found in the Valley of the Kings.

A colorful design depicting some of my favorite depictions of the Gods of Egypt. Who do you recognize?

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!

Sistrums were ceremonial rattles in ancient Egypt. Originally, it is thought that these rattles were meant to mimic the sound of the reeds rustling, calming the lion goddess Sekmet in her rage. This one has the face of the goddess Hathor on it, a different aspect of Sekmet. During Greco-Roman times, the sistrum became associated with the cult of the goddess Isis, and many examples have been found in Pompeii and Rome. This sistrum has the cartouche of a Ptolemaic king.
