Humbaba, guardian of the cedar forest!
Added 2021-09-20 19:03:50 +0000 UTCWall plaques featuring the monsterβs face were used as protection, and a number of them survive from antiquity. I used this example from the city of Ur (plaque dates to approx. 2000 BCE) as a base for a computer illustration, which is then turned into 11 individual layers designed to show the 3D nature of the original.
Itβs a little too thick, I think. They eyebrows come up too high, and the design needs tweakingβ¦but overall Iβm very pleased with it. Iβm planning on making them in cedar (seems appropriate for the guardian of the cedar forest!) and having them for sale in our upcoming Etsy shop!

It can't sadly :( but definitely something to think about in the future, if we expand the workshop. No Etsy store yet - but I'm planning on launching one on November 1st! I'll be posting the link as soon as it's up and running.
