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. 

This papyrus collage start with King Tut and his bride Ankhesenamon are shown here sailing down the Nile on what is popularly termed their honeymoon.

The middle scene shows King Tut flushing birds from a swamp surrounded by gods and goddesses, it is interpreted symbolically as the pharaoh's role in maintaining cosmic order and the continual fight against chaos - as represented by the birds in the bush.

The bottom scene is from the antechamber of the tomb of Tutankhamun, A wooden shrine is covered in gold leaf. It shows King Tut hunting with his wife in attendance.. The intimate ties between the pharaoh and his bride represent the serene relationship between god and man.
