Papyrus Painting -  Akhenaten, Nefertiti and Child Offer Sacrifices Golden Highlights

 

papyrus art akhenaten offering sacrifices

 

Product Description:  Hand painted papyrus of Akhenaten, his wife Queen Nefertiti  and child offering sacrifices with golden highlights.

Akhenaten and his wife Queen Nefertiti were behind a revolutionary period of Egyptian rule known as the Amarna Interlude. 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. In this scene Akhenaten, Nefertiti, and one of their daughters (some will say that it actually one of Ramses lesser wives Kiya) offer sacrifices to the sun-disk Aten, whose rays, stretching down, end in hands bearing the ankh or Egyptian symbol of eternal life.

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.
