Digitally altered, Ink pen and colored pencil, altered August 2020 In seven years, I've learned blue-eyed representations of Egyptian deities are NOT a proper way to represent them. When I darkened the skin, almost everything else had to get darker to keep the color balance.

If I am ever lucky to visit Egypt, the site I'd most want to see is Seti I's temple at Abydos. He featured beautiful renderings of various deities, among them the Goddess Ma'at. No doubt this was partially influenced by his throne name "Men-Ma'at-Ra", "Eternal is the Truth/Justice of Ra". |
I created a template from two different photos of Ma'at in Seti I's temple, one of her head and shoulders and one showing her torso - (both photos by "Mutnedjmet").
