Product Description: Hand painted Tree of Life Papyrus Painting with a black background, the birds represent the various stages of human life. Infancy, childhood, youth, adulthood and maturity.
Each bird progressively gets larger with each phase. Because every soul has significance on earth and purpose, the tree with fruits is depicted, ready to be harvested at each age of man In ancient Egypt, the direction east was considered the direction of life, because the sun rose in the east West was considered the direction of death, of entering the underworld, because the sun set in the west They believed that during the night, the sun traveled through the underworld to make its way back to the east so it could rise in the east again on the next day On the tree of life, note that the birds representing the first four phases of life all face to the east, but the bird representing old age faces to the west, anticipating the approach of death The ancient Acacia tree, from which the first couple, Isis and Osiris are said in legend, to have sprang from.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.
