This fabulous Egyptian papyrus represents Queen of Egypt Nefertari (Nefertary). The favorite wife of pharaoh Ramesses II. The cartouche of the upper left shows clearly her name. This scene is from her stunning tomb. In this scene our queen is represented wearing long, transparent white garments, with two long feathers over the vulture-like headdress of gold. She wears very rich jewels, in addition to bracelets and a wide golden collar. She is holding the Lotus flower in her left hand. This Lotus flower symbolizes connecting her heart full of love with her husband. The size of the painting is 12"X8" about 20 cm X 30 cm. Signed and guaranteed to be real handmade Egyptian papyrus. This item will be shipped directly from its home land Cairo Egypt. This painting is truly a stunning piece as an addition to any ancient Egypt collector. Makes a great gift for someone you love.

Nefertari: Ramses II has a tomb for Nefertari hewn out 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 Egypt 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. She had many titles; "beautiful face" and "pretty with two feathers" could be taken as reference simply to the queen's physical appearance. Another describes her as "appeasing the gods". This expression is associated with kings; and states their adherence to and support of the ritual requirements of the cults. None of the Egyptian queens, so far as we know, had been held in such honor, for none had a temple dedicated to her jointly with a goddess, as was the case with Nefertari.
