Description
This is a reproduction of one of the images From the Tomb of Nefertari. 7 cows and a bull, each with their own individual name inscribed in hieroglyphs, as well as the four oars for the four points of the compass, part of the promise of how Nefertari will be able to negotiate the pathway to eternity in the afterlife without her enemies identifying her.I had fun with this one, I created 68 separate full-color 90-point hieroglyphs beginning with the Segoe Historic Font pre-created hieroglyphs, but coloring and augmenting them. If I knew how to make a set of brushes for GIMP, I'd share them. I might spend more time making more hieroglyphs. The Tomb of Nefertari was extraordinary for the highly colored decorations, including the detailed hieroglyphs.

This is a delightful piece. These are some sort of celestial cows, if memory serves me.
