The Black Hearted Woman

Seen here trying to escape from a kind of tentacled thing. She’s wearing her theatre disguise, as a kind of romanticised victorian-era egyptian princess. The forehead tattoo is ‘Ieb’, which in Egyptian hieroglyphics means ‘heart’.

From EgyptArtsite.com -

‘The Egyptian believed the heart was the center of all consciousness, even the center of life itself. When someone died it was said that their “heart has departed.” It was the only organ that was not removed from the body during mummification. In the Book of the dead, it was the heart that was weighed against the feather of Maat to see if an individual was worthy of joining Osiris in the afterlife’.
