Papyrus Painting - The Celestial Goddess Nut

Product Description:  The ancient Egyptian sky-goddess (Nut) Nout, one of the most detailed pieces you will find.Tthis piece depicts Nut swallowing the sun in the evening and giving birth to it again in the morning.

She is the personification of the sky and of the heavens, the daughter of Shu and Tefnut. Nout was the barrier separating the forces of chaos from the ordered cosmos in this world. The god Ra was said to enter her mouth after setting in the evening and travel through her body during the night to be reborn  each morning. She also swallows the stars and have them reborn later. In the death cult she plays a part in the resurrection of the dead; she is portrayed on the inside of the lids of the sarcophagi. The pharaoh was said to enter her body after death, from which he would later be resurrected.

All papyrus paintings are sent with "rough" edges, easily trimmed to fit your framing needs. 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   We apologize for any delays that may occur,  ultimately it is about the preservation of the history of Egypt.
