Taking to Instagram, Salib shared three images that show her on set for the series. In them, she is seen next to a gigantic, practical hippopotamus head that likely served as a visual reference for the actors. Elsewhere, Salib can be seen in the full costume for Taweret, minus the large hippopotamus head, while the final picture is some polaroid stills of her and various cast and crew members.

Check out the behind-the-scenes look below:

Moon Knight stars Golden Globe winner Oscar Isaac as Steven Grant/Marc Spector, marking the fan-favorite superhero’s live-action debut. It also features Ethan Hawke as Arthur Harrow, F. Murray Abraham as the voice of Khonshu, May Calamawy as Layla, and the late Gaspard Ulliel as Midnight Man.

“It follows Steven Grant, a mild-mannered gift-shop employee, who becomes plagued with blackouts and memories of another life,” says the official synopsis. “Steven discovers he has dissociative identity disorder and shares a body with mercenary Marc Spector. As Steven/Marc’s enemies converge upon them, they must navigate their complex identities while thrust into a deadly mystery among the powerful gods of Egypt.”
