Papyrus Painting - Ramses the Great and Queen Nefertari over Philae

Ramses the Great and Queen Nefertari over Philae.

Philae in Greek or Pilak in ancient Egyptian, meaning "the end" defined the southern most limit of Egypt. The Temple was dedicated to the goddess Isis.  Ramses the Great and his most favored wife Nefertari take the center of this unique papyrus painting.

*****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.

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.
