Hand-painted natural papyrus with motif - natural border - approx. 32 × 82 cm
Egyptian court of the dead
Led by the jackal-headed god Anubis, Hunefer enters the Hall of Maat, where the fate of his soul is decided. Here his heart is weighed against the pen of order, justice and truth. Anubis checks the scales while the "devourer" looks on, Thot records the result. Then the falcon-headed god Horus leads Hunefer to the shrine where Osiris sits on the throne. The hieroglyphs proclaim Osiris' happy verdict: "Eternal life".
Our papyrus offer

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 be 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.
