Prayer niche (mihrab)

Faience baboon, 7th - 6th C BCE, about 16cm / 6 inches tall.

From the sculpture's gallery description:
"The baboon was usually associated with Thoth, one of the moon gods. This animal has a hole in the crown that once held a lunar disk sitting on top of a crescent moon, an attribute of Thoth. For a 2600-year-old artwork it is in remarkable condition, and though the animal is small in size, its posture and expression command authority."

Amulet of Anubis, Egyptian, Late Period Dynastic or Roman. Faience; 4.3 cm H, 1.0 cm W, 2.1 cm D; 5.98 g. ID: 0000.02.3431.

A faience (blue-green glassy ceramic) figurine of Anubis, a jackal-headed Egyptian god closely associated with mummification and the realm of death. Anubis had a special role in protecting the dead, and this figurine was likely included in the wrappings of a mummy to offer such protection to the deceased.

Amulet of Anubis

A flower-dominant ceremonial object built as a 3D Egyptian blue lotus rising from a simplified ritual dish. This V3 version centers the bloom itself: a deeper bowl, a fusion collar, 12 calyx forms, 12 guard petals, 10 outer petals, 10 middle petals, 8 inner petals, a solar core dome, 260 stamens, and 24 halo filaments. The structure is strongly radial but staged vertically, so the plate reads as both vessel and unfolding flower.

The palette moves through night Nile blue, faience blue, deep Egyptian blue, turquoise mist, and pale gold, giving the object a glass-faience ceremonial character. This piece is generated through a mathematical and procedural workflow rather than hand sculpted. Mesh: 227,514 vertices, 453,684 faces.

I was just experimenting, can be done better.
