Papyrus Painting: The Musicians

Papyrus Painting: The Musicians with a Dramatic Black Background

Please note: recent changes implemented by the Ministry of Antiquities requires all papyrus to be inspected by an expert to ensure that antiquities are not being smuggled out of the country, 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.

Professional musicians existed on a number of social levels in ancient Egypt. Perhaps the highest status belonged to temple musicians; the office of "musician" (shemayet) to a particular god or goddess was a position of high status frequently held by women. This scene is from Musicians of Amun, Tomb of Nakht, 18th Dynasty, Western Thebes.
