Between the world of men and transcendent divinity there exists art. Art is the will to truth made physically manifest. It is more real then Reality. It is a dialogue triumphant over Time. – Andre Malraux

Anck-Su-Namun

I was working on my "Ramses the Damned" illustration and wanted to play around with the idea of a female mummy.  This sketch is the result of that.

Though I drew this in 1995, when the film "The Mummy" was released in 1999, I began to think she looked a lot like Anck-Su-Namun, the secret lover of Imhotep and the mistress of Pharaoh Set I.
