Papyrus Painting - Profiles of Akhenaten and Nefertiti  on Dark Papyrus

Akhenaten and his queen Nefertiti were behind a revolutionary period of Egyptian rule known as the Amarna Interlude.

This era was signified by a flourishing of a new form of art and by religious upheaval  Together, they fostered the worship of the sun god Re in the form of the cult of the sun disc Aten  They established themselves as living gods - thus only by worshipping the royal pair could people access the Aten. 

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.
