Papyrus Painting - Ramses in the Afterlife with Isis After Passing the Final Judgment Golden Highlights

After passing through the Final Judgment and the weighing of the heart Ramses the Great and Isis meet with Horus in the afterlife.

Note the lotus flowers, often associated with rebirth.  Ramses wears cobra (uraeus), with its dilated hood framing the disk of the sun, was said to represent the fiery eye of Re. The uraeus in its protective function is often incorporated into scenes from the Book of the Dead, associating uraeus with the underworld.  Horus is significant in the afterlife, the son of Isis, he is also the father of the Four Sons who protected the vital organs of the deceased. The hieroglyphics tell the story. 

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.
