Papyrus art 5 Queens, black background

Product Description:  Hand painted papyrus of Nefertari in the afterlife, black bacground.  This piece is often called the 5 Queens - the 5 female energies.  Nefertari was probably the only Egyptian royal wife, other than Queen Tiy to be deified during her lifetime. The name Nefertari means "the most beautiful of them". 

Ramses II has a tomb for Nefertari  in the Valley of the Queens called by the ancients "The Place of Beauty", this tomb is the most beautiful in the Valley of the Queens, and is on the whole worthy of her position in history. The decorative motifs on walls and ceilings are mythological and are concerned with life in the netherworld, meetings with gods, deities, genii and monsters, and the entry into the realm of eternity. In this scene Nefertari is represented always wearing long, transparent white garments is lead thru the afterlife, with offers of the lotus flower and sistrum.   This scene is sometimes called the 5 Queens - 5 female energies.

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.
