Description

Print on real Egyptian papyrus paper with hand painted gold elements. Each print is slightly different. Signed and numbered in pencil. “Papyrus /p?'pa?r?s/ is a thin paper-like material made from the pith of the papyrus plant, Cyperus papyrus,[1] a wetland sedge that was once abundant in the Sudd of Southern Sudan along with the Nile Delta of Egypt. Papyrus is first known to have been used in ancient Egypt (at least as far back as the First Dynasty), but it was also used throughout the Mediterranean region and in Kingdom of Kush. Ancient Egyptians are thought to have used papyrus as a writing material,[2] as well as employing it commonly in the construction of other artefacts such as reed boats, mats, rope, sandals, and baskets.”.
