Ankh-Lute Bard: Anime in Ancient Egypt

An anime-style bard in ancient Egypt, standing in a sunlit desert with towering pyramids and palm trees in the background, playing a curved lyre-lute. The bard wears flowing linen robes, a gold collar, bracelets, and a nemes-inspired headdress with a small sun disk and cobra motif. Their eyes are large and expressive, typical of anime, with wind-tossed hair. Magical musical notes swirl around the instrument like gold threads. The scene includes hieroglyph-covered temple walls, papyrus scrolls, ankh symbols, and a subtle sandstorm glow. Warm golden-hour lighting, saturated colors, high-contrast cel-shading, crisp linework, cinematic composition, shallow depth of field focusing on the bard. The mood is heroic, festive, and enigmatic.
