Painted faience sculpture of a tattooed woman or a priestess of Hathor.
Egypt. 1850-1640 BC. I love faience🌹 Her tattoos remind me a whole lot of my own. My favorite possibility of what her body markings mean: Protection for a healthy womb and healthy pregnancy. As her belly grows, the tattoos stretches across the abdomen like a net or barrier over the baby… Thus, protecting the baby.
