Egyptian Papyrus Paintings

This is a wonderfully detailed symbol of life, or ankh as the Ancient Egyptians would have called it. The top is a circle that represents life that is continuous into the afterlife. There are two cartouches within the detail of the symbol, both stand for Tutankhamun. The king would officially have five names. The cartouche with the scarab symbol inside is his prenomen-NebKheprure which means ‘The Lordly scarab manifestation of Re’. The other cartouche is his nomen-Heqa-Iunu-shema, which means ‘Living image of Amun, ruler of Upper Egyptian Heliopolis’. Amun was the creator god and Heliopolis was the capital that was associated with the sun. In side the circle itself, if you look closely you can see the elements of the cartouche that contains the scarab. This was another more fun and creative way to write the name. Surrounding the name there is also the protective cobra and beneath is the lotus flower that symbolized rebirth and resurrection. One must remember every picture in Ancient Egypt has a meaning and it’s just a matter of solving the puzzle in order to understand the whole picture. The size of this papyrus painting is approximately 14" by 17 1/2".
