horus
















Actually I wasn’t thinking of him as Horus until I put the jewel on his head. I seem to be on some sort of ancient Egypt kick lately. I keep coming back to the Victorian expeditions as inspiration, but haven’t realized many of those plans (yet).

I’m not really happy with the metal glue I have, so I’m off to find something better, plus I’m hoping to find a steel hand vise locally.

This is one of the inner parts for the top of this box - I love the light coming through the jewel, so I’m not going to put in the portrait that was going to be on the bottom of the lid. There will be several items in the ’secret’ compartment, including a map and a message written in demotic script.

I may have over-thought this (as usual).
