'The Eye of Horus'
The Eye of Horus is an egyptian symbol of royal power, protection and health. It is the eye of the sky God, Horus who appeared as an eagle. The symbol was known to protect a Pharoah's after life and keep evil away. The design of this eye symbol is the most detailed of the eye symbols. There are simpler drawings of the symbol but this is the most detailed image. I've referenced this image because it relates to my idea of wanting to create eye detail that stands out in my design of Sally Bowles. Her eyes are made to look big in Cabaret and I think this was done to make her look different and resemble her want of being a star (big). So I thought I'd research the detail Ancient Egyptians put into their art of eyes.
