Papyrus Painting - Nile Geese and Lotus

The Nile goose had often the run of the house and the garden in spite of its vile temper.

The goose was the sacred animal of Geb, who was also known as 'The Great Cackler' when he was in goose form. There were sacred lakes around Egypt that were home to the sacred geese, where they were well looked after.

The lotus flower has many deep rich meanings.  Often associated with rebirth, sun, creation, and the symbolism extends to the unification, joining of the two Egyptians kingdoms.

*****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. Product Specifications:
