It's an awesome cover. I have a very similar symbol tattooed on the back on my neck.

That's an Egyptian heiroglyph. It's the Eye of Horus.

Horus was the falcon-headed god. The symbol representing his eye, Eye of Horus, was a powerful symbol used to protect from evil. Pronounced "udjat" by the Egyptians, the Eye of Horus represents a h
