 
Anuket is the ancient Egyptian Goddess of the Nile River in the area around the First Cataract, where the Nile flowed over and around a rocky spot, making navigation difficult. She was worshiped from earliest times at Elephantine Island there. Her name means 'She Who Embraces' and refers to the high banks at that point which constrict the river. This is another digital piece in the style of an Art Deco poster, like the Bat I did previously. Anuket's Obscure Online Goddess Directory entry is here, for a much more detailed article. This design is available on prints through ArtPal and on greeting cards through Zazzle. |
