OK here are the fruits of my labors so far...
A relic icon atlas with 40+ relics, some real, most fictional I think, like the Book of The Dead and Book of The Living from The Mummy movies ( I took images of the props from web and... :-D).
Real relics are for example the mirror, sword and necklace of Japanese origin, which are even today part of the imperial regalia of Japan.
Anyway, the files are in a .zip folder containing the necessary 256, 64 and 45 pixel versions plus the GIMP file if someone wants to do some extra editing?
Here´s a list of what I named the relics so far in order;
1. Holy Egyptian Canopic Jar
2. Holy Japanese Mirror
3. Holy Japanese Sword
4. Holy Japanee Necklace
5. Book of the dead
6. Book of the living
7. Holy Shamanic runic disc (or something like that... :-D)
8. Voodoo doll (ceremonial doll)
9. Shamanic Drum
10. Ceremonial knife (flint knife, maybe some kind of Aztec relic eh... :-D)
11. Shamanic mask
12. Crown of thorns
13. Fertility statue
14. Alabaster jar
15. Ankh Amulet
16. Ash Urn (maybe remnants of some saint/martyr who got to be the center of a barbeque party? :-D)
17. Old Holy Book (Bible)
18. Chalice
19. Commandment Tablets
20. Crown (just some crown, but maybe belonged to a confessor king etc.?)
21. Dagger (of Amun-Ra ? :-D Reminds me of an old Sierra adventure game I saw videos of...)
22. Holy Foot
23. Holy Hand
24. Icon Tablet
25. Holy Kantele (of Väinämöinen the great Finnish wizard/shaman of Kalevala? This is a wooden one, his was made of the jawbone of a giant pike)
26. Holy Mirror
27. Mjolnir, Thor´s hammer
28. Holy Moose head of Finnish origin (made of stone, that is a photo of an actual relic I pulled from a Finnish museums webpage), All Hail the mighty Moose God! :-D
29. Holy Plank ( piece of the Ark or something...?)
30. Prayer beads (of a martyr or saint?)
31. Holy Raven Banner of Odin
32. Holy Banner of St. Jeanne D´Arc
33. Holy Scarab amulet
34. Holy scroll (there could be many scrolls in the game I guess, Dead sea scrolls, Lost Gospels and other scriptures...)
35. Signet Ring ( of some holy Bishop etc.?)
36. Skull
37. Roman Pilum Spear (Spear of Destiny?)
38 - 44 ; Statue or Statuette of ... Anubis, Bastet, Buddha, Lakshmi, Sekhmet, Thoth and Vishnu
45. Holy Walking Stick (belonged to a great and holy....)
Anyway, I plan on using these in my mod, feel free to do so as well and making these icons was relatively easy in the end, thankfully.
I hope these icons will be of use to someone keen on religion modding.
Cheers and Enjoy! :-D
