The Shuōwén Seal form of 眉(􀥹睂) méi ‘eyebrow’ combines 目(􀣽) mù ‘eye’ with () lines above said to depict a ‘furrowed brow’ (皱眉); very old graphs associated with 眉 suggest eyelashes (睫毛).
The Shuōwén Seal form of 眉(􀥹睂) méi ‘eyebrow/brow’ combines 目(􀣽) mù ‘eye’ with strokes above depicting a 𠃜() ‘furrowed brow’ (皱眉), the lines/wrinkles of the brow/forehead (and eyebrow hair) above the eye/socket.
“Picture of the eyebrow above the 目 eye” —Karlgren.
Note: The SW gloss is 眉 ‘hair above the eye’, but the upper part 𠃜() is said to depict the lines/wrinkles of the forehead (上象額理).
Compare: 目(􀣽􀣾𡇡) mù ‘eye’; 面(􁡘𡇢) miàn ‘face’; 省(􀥺𥅱䁞) shěng ‘squint’, 眚(􀥛) shěng ‘cataract’.

The top part 𠃜 of 眉 happens (coincidentally) to look like the bottom of the modern simple form 声(􂄂聲􁦸殸) shēng (but the two characters are unrelated).
Compare: 楣(􀿕) méi ‘eave fascia’.
HDZ: 眉 : méi : 眉毛; 题额 (题写门楣或匾额; 匾额上的题字; 书眉, 眉批); 旁側; 老; 美女; 媚; (古州名); (姓)
Older graphs associated with 眉 seem to depict the eye with 眉毛 ‘eyebrow’ or 睫毛 ‘eyelashes’ (HDZ).
“[眉] Picture of the eyebrow above the 目 eye” —Karlgren(AD).
Compare: 省(􀥺𥅱䁞) shěng ‘squint’, 眚(􀥛) shěng ‘cataract’.

Note: A shape like 𠃜 the top part of 眉 is seen in unrelated forms; cf. 声(􂄂聲􁦸殸𡔝); 賔(􁄲賓宾); 𠬩(􀠧𠬝).
