#faience

Sunday mornings are for ... a bit of relaxed image editing. I've been working on this image of an amulet from the Garstang Museum of #Horus as a #falcon, wearing the double crown of Egypt (the Pschent, or Sekhemty - 'the Two Powerful Ones' - to use the ancient Egyptian name).

The slightly odd, yellow colour is geniune. Looking closely at it, I think it's a yellow faience, which you see less often than the commonly used blue and green #faience.

The photo open in Affinity Photo editing software. The view of Affinity Photo shows some of the layers, a histogram and a thumbnail down the right-hand side, and menus along the top and down the left side of the screen. The amulet is photographed in quarter profile. It's a falcon in classic ancient Egyptian style wearing the double crown of Egypt, and it has a loop at the back of its neck for it to be strung.
