Papyrus Painting - Golden Marriage Card of King Tut on Dark Papyrus II

Product Description:  Papyrus painting of the King Tut's Marriage card with golden highlights, version II, on a natural dark papyrus canvas. 

Queen Nefertiti had six daughters; It is believed that King Tut married one of them: his half sister - Ankhesenamon. She was thirteen years old when she became the wife of Tutankhamun when he was only nine years old. Tutankhamun succeeded Smenkhkare in 1334 B.C., but only ruled about 10 years.  It is believed that there were two failed pregnancies from the marriage:  a 5-month-old female fetus and a stillborn baby girl. (Both were mummified and buried in Tutankhamun's tomb.)

All papyrus paintings are sent with "rough" edges, easily trimmed to fit your framing needs.  Dark papyrus is aged by soaking it in water and letting the sugars age the papyrus, it breaks down the fibers and gives a very old authentic feel.  You may notice that there are some pin holes on the canvas, this is part of the aging process.

*****NOTICE****
Changes implemented by the Ministry of Antiquities requires all papyrus to be inspected by an expert - what this means is that while your order will show as shipped, it may in fact be on hold at the Cairo airport pending inspection. For this reason we are not able to combine papyrus orders with anything else, i.e. papyrus and jewelry, or glassworks etc. If you are ordering something else in addition to the papyrus you must order it separately. We apologize for any delays that may occur, ultimately it is about the preservation of the history of Egypt.
