Artist Kate England continues her exploration of Upper and Lower Egypt with this week’s freeware release – Hieroglyphica Volume 2. Volume 1 proved to be very popular and Kate thought the time was right to expand on the original set of glyphs to include some of the better known symbols including the Egyptian Ankh and the Eye of Horus.
These “Divine Words,” as the Egyptians themselves called them, inspired nearly every alphabet ever used, including the Roman alphabet. It is only fitting that we offer up more of history’s original “icons” for your desktop pleasure. Head over and grab them for your Mac, PC or as a searchable Pixadex iContainer today. Don’t forget to visit Marmalade Moon to grab the accompanying sandstone desktop picture to make your desktop theme complete.
