The Siberian Ice Maiden--also known as the Princess of Ukok--was a 5th century B.C. woman from the Eurasian Steppes whose mummy was discovered in a Pazyryk kurgan (burial mound) in the Republic of Altai, Russia in 1993. Known for her remarkable display of Scytho-Siberian tattoos depicting mythical creatures, her afterlife escort included two heavily tattooed warriors and six horses prepared for battle. The nomadic Pazyryk tribe held the deep-seated belief that tattoos helped people find one another in heaven. This dramatic, fantasy-inspired reimagining of her draws attention to the recreational and medicinal uses of cannabis and opium in Scythian culture. The princess drinks an opium elixir from an intricately carved vessel discovered by archaeologists as bearing traces of opium. As a talisman she adorns her neck in a wreath of hemp. Researchers suggest that the princess was a victim of breast cancer. This preferred cocktail would have easily dulled her pain. Print available in my Etsy shop:

Wow! Amazing work! Love it!
I was wondering if you could let me us this image for a non-commercial Android game called "Kingdoms of Myth", it's turn based strategy game based on a fantasy World. You can find a little bit more info in our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/kingdomsofmythgame/).
Of course you will have full credits of your work and link to your webpage.
Just for clarifying the non-commercial game, we are not going to sell it and of course we don’t plan to make money or advertisement with your picture.
Lot of thanks for your time ;)
