Set, the Great God ©Joan Ann Lansberry 1-1-07

Nearly a month later, I now have my Set drawing colored. I created the background in Photoshop, striving for a sort of 'desert' feel. Then I copied and pasted the drawing to it, coloring it to look well against the background. I knew I had in mind some hieroglyphs for the space at the right. I wanted to put the hieroglyphs for 'Set, Great of Strength' but couldn't find them on line or in any book we have. (I'd tried earlier, but am not sure those attempts are anything close to how they'd write it.) But I did find a sample which I altered, and I'm reasonably sure it's accurate. Bridget McDermott in her Decoding Egyptian Hieroglyphs has on page 63 'Osirus the great God', and a photo of a wall painting from the tomb of King Horemheb. So I just substituted the Set heiroglyph for the Osirus one to make 'Set the great God'. This is available in a quality 'Photo Lustre' art print! Should your 'feng shui' require him to face to the left, the print is also available that way!
