Papyrus - Escape to Egypt
unpainted natural papyrus with motif - natural border - approx. 22 × 32 cm / A4
This series is especially suitable for religious education, as well as for taking up and thematising Christian annual festivals.
They are Christian representations from the life of Christ, as well as Saint George.
The pictures originate from Coptic painting, the original Christian religion in Egypt.
Even today, the Copts claim that their religion is directly descended from the Holy Family.
The motif
Awakened by the angel of the Lord, the Holy Family flees to Egypt. The soldiers ordered by Herod to murder the children pursue them. After an arduous journey, they find peace in Egypt for the time being.

Our papyrus range
We offer you light, ochre-coloured natural papyrus from Egypt. You can choose from various hand-laid formats. The design possibilities with papyrus are manifold. You can write on it, paint it or print on it; you can use ink, fibre pens, water-based or tempera paints.
Papyrus is a natural product
In the Nile Delta, papyrus leaves are still produced in the traditional way. Families in the countryside harvest the papyrus stems, which can grow up to 6 metres high, and process the raw material into papyrus leaves with great skill. Carefully made papyrus leaves are produced in several steps, which always have an individual, handcrafted character.
Fair trade with Egypt
PGI buys Egyptian products directly from the producer. This allows us to bypass dealer stations and offer our customers favourable prices. But the Egyptian producers also benefit from this direct marketing, they achieve much higher prices for their products. We regularly visit our partners in Egypt and discuss the upcoming needs on site.
