The Sumerian poem, Inanna's Descent follows the journey of Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth, through the Seven Gates of Hell and into the Underworld, to visit her recently-widowed sister, Erishkigal. To do so, Inanna has to give up everything as she passes through each of the seven gates of Hell, arriving in the Underworld naked and completely vulnerable- stripped of her status and all worldly belongings. Inanna endures death at her sister's hand, but eventually triumphs over death to retake her earthly position, a changed woman. Her story is rich with symbolism that every woman can relate to in their own life's journey. (please not this is a very brief synopsis and I highly recommend searching for the entire myth to read through!)
Erishkigal is sometimes seen to symbolize Inanna's shadow self, and is part of the dance of duality we see within the various symbolism found in this ancient Sumerian myth. Symbolically, Inanna thus sheds her ego, to come to terms with her shadow self in the metaphorical underworld, in order to emerge changed on the other side.

This shade is a rich metallic dark green, inspired by the artist's pigment pthalo green.

Recommended application for these is over a cream eyeshadow base (NYX cream eyeshadow base is my go-to!). Sticky or glue bases may work well for you, but I personally don't use these or test/swatch my products with them.
