A4 hand-carved Ancient Egyptian Tomb linocut print
$55.00
Hatshepsut's Tomb (A4) is a re-imagined version of Hatshepsut's tomb, showing the seven versions of her soul as understood in ancient Egyptian mythology.
We have the Ba (the human-headed bird representing the deceased's personality), the Ib (the heart, symbolised by a heart amulet at the foot of the sarcophagus), the Shuyet (the shadow that protects the deceased), the Ka (represented as a statue and the essential lifeforce), the Khat (the physical body), the Ren (the name in hieroglyphs) and the Akh (a transformed version of the deceased with special abilities, much like gods and goddesses).
As someone with Egyptian heritage, I am fascinated by this mythology and the idea that the soul is not singular but multifaceted - each part playing a different role in death and the afterlife. This print is part of my personal Egyptian Linoprints collection.
