Papyrus Painting - Sarcophagus of King Tut with a Dramatic Black Background

Product Description:  Painted on a natural papyrus canvas the black background brings out the details of the second coffin or sarcophagus.

Many details, such as the stripes of the nemes-headcloth, eyebrows, cosmetic lines and beard were inlaid with blue lapis.  The uraeus on the forehead was of gilded wood, with a head of blue faience and inlays of red coral, blue lapis and turquoise.  The eyes were set with obsidian.  The crook and flail, held respectively in the left and right hands, were inlaid with blue lapis and turquoise, along with blue faience, the broad "falcon collar" contains inset pieces of brilliant reds, blues and turquoise adorned the king's throat.  There were also two similarly inlaid bracelets carved into the wrists.

All papyrus paintings are sent with "rough" edges, easily trimmed to fit your framing needs.

*****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.
