I've just launched a brand new set of community pages on the website for members of the Tiny Egypt Society. Members now have their own profiles, social feeds & can connect with me & other members, a little like Facebook. But with fewer people. (I haven't quite managed to reach half the world's population. Yet ... 😈)

That first day back after new year is always going to be one for catching up with stuff, but I did manage to fit in putting the raw images of this amulet through the focus stacking software 😊

It's one of the amulets I photographed at Manchester Museum in early December for Tiny Egypt and depicts the god Shu - the air - with his arms up to support the sky.

Today I spent some time working on this magnificent little lapis lazuli Bes amulet at Manchester Museum - the intensity of the colour of the lapis lazuli is just gorgeous, and he still has remnants of gold leaf on his head 😍

Today I've been working on one of the images I captured the other week of this fabulous and rather unusual human-headed Bastet at Museum for .

What you can't see here (because I've zoomed in in Photoshop) is that she has two little kitties sitting by her front legs 🥹

No provenance details right now as the museum's database is ongoing a revamp, so I'm having to wait a little. But it's likely Late Period-ish.

Ancient Egyptian amulet of Thoth in his form of a seated baboon. His headdress is a full moon sitting atop a crescent moon, reflecting his role as a lunar deity. His name is inscribed on his chest.

He stands at just 5.5 cm tall and is in the collection at Manchester Museum.

I photographed him using a macro lens and this photo is part of my Shadow series within my photography project.
