    Mahsa Amini was murdered in cold blood by the Islamic Regime in September 2022. Since then the women of Iran have risen up and led unceasing protests to this very day.

    This has been named the "Woman Life Freedom Movement" and it will go down in history as an uprising spearheaded by the fierce, powerful women of Iran.

    We are showing support for the fearless protesters in Iran with this design made by tattoo artist Wyrdian of Seven Doors Tattoo. The design is based on depictions of Ereshkigal and Anahita, both complex ancient goddesses who dealt with death and war respectively. The lions are symbols that span both western and eastern cultures and unite those of us in the diaspora as well as all who ally with us in this movement.

    We are donating £1 from every sale to the charity IKWRO, which supports Iranian and Middle Eastern women in need in the UK.

    If you have any other charity suggestions that you would like us to consider donating to please send us a message.

    This design is limited to a run of 100

about

This track features an arrangement of transliterated cuneiform lines from the 'Third Tablet of the Series “The Exalted One Who Walketh” (e-lum didara) (No. 13) and is sung in Sumerian.

lyrics

How long my Queen, the pious woman in misery?
The bride of Esagila in misery?
For the brick shall the walls wail?
For the dust shall the restored dust wail?
The city and the land are afflicted with woe

As to thy word who comprehends thy form?

She wanders on the plain, on the plain she wails
The mother, Queen who gives life to the dead, on the plain she wails
The Queen, Lady of Larak, on the plain wails
The Queen, mother of the holy city, on the plain wails
The abode Erabrir, of the lord Sakutma, on the plain wails

O honoured one, the exuberant, alas, alas.
