Artist's Comments
From left to right, name, what they were worshipped as, how I represented it:
Mut: Wife of Amen, mother of Khons, holding hands with Amen Amen: "The Hidden One," a primordial creation-deity, holding a mask Anubis: Egyptian god of the dead, holding a sycthe Bast: Egyptian cat goddess, looks like a cat... Bes: Egyptian dwarf god believed to guard against evil spirits and misfortune, small, with his hand out in a "stop" looking way. Chons: Egyptian moon god, holding the moon Thoth: Egyptian moon god, holding the moon Dua: Protector of the stomach of the deceased, holding a stomach Geb: God of the Earth, holding the Earth Hathor: Egyptian cow goddess, cow coloured Isis: Egyptian mother goddess, dusting, slightly stereotypically, sorry bout that. Maat: Egyptian goddess of truth and justice, in the style of the statue outside the Old Bailey, blindfolded, with scales and a sword Mi: Egyptian fertility god, holding a child Nephthys: Egyptian goddess of the dead, holding a "dead" mask Nut: Egyptian goddess of the sky and of the heavens, holding a cloud balloon, with a halo Osiris: Egyptian god of the underworld and of vegetation, holding some sweetcorn Qetesh: Goddess of love and beauty, with a mirror and holding a heart Re (or Ra): Egyptian sun god, holding the sun, in need of sunglasses Selket: Scorpion goddess, helper of women in childbirth, with a scorpion tail Set (or Seth): Egyptian god of chaos, looking a bit nuts there... Shu: Egyptian god of the air, floating Sobek: Egyptian crocodile god, looking like a crocodile. It is a crocodile, honest... Taweret: Hippopotamus goddess and protective deity of childbirth, looking like a hippo with a baby on her nose. Honest... Wepwawet: God of war and of the funerary cult, looking a bit battered and bruised, plus sword and blood. This took... feckin' LONG. But not as long as I thought it would. I think I'm just a bit too nerdy for me own good. Anyway. Enjoy!! I HAVE to thank *vita-luna for making my brain pop this crazy idea up, and *MisterIngo for inspiring her in the first place!!  Big thankies. Now I have to go and bathe my eyes...

winter-time sniffles
and a half-empty box of scratchy store-brand clouds.

and the coral coloured trees
that littered the skirts of all of his
ex-girlfriends.
