I recently found this mural on the side of a shop that sells antiques and unique furniture and decorator items. It's an image of the hands in Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican. I remember getting a bit dizzy trying to see all the paintings on that ceiling when I visited years ago. This is much easier to see.
The "Eye of Horus" was found on that same building high up over the entrance to the shop. The eye depicts protection, health and restoration. That seems perfect for a place that gives old furniture a new life.
Taking part in Monday Murals.

Nice Murals you have found
The ceiling is not an easy place to admire the work.
I like both of these a lot, Sharon.
Two beautiful murals. The blues in "The Eye of Horus" are very vibrant - very eye-catching!
The Creation of Adam seems to be a popular subject to paint. Both murals are quite nice. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Sharon.
Both murals are very nice to see.
I’ve seen many reinterpretations of god’s hand reaching out to Adam. Nice murals!
The hand mural is most eye catching
