This painting set with its 7 different motifs is a great introduction to papyrus painting. The painted and glued papyri are a real joy or a wonderful gift.
For painting
The papyri can be easily painted with the 6 tempera colours. Colour prints can be used as a template, but there are no limits to your own imagination. We recommend not making the motifs too colourful.
After drying, glue the papyri onto the black clay paper. This enhances the colour impression and gives the whole thing a sophisticated look.

Product information "Papyrus painting set - 7 motifs, colours and brushes"
7 different motifs
Tut Anch Amun was the son of Akhenaten. At a young age, he married his half-sister Anchesenamun and ascended the throne. He died at the age of around 18. The golden death mask served to protect the deceased.
The bust of Nefertiti is one of the most famous art treasures of Ancient Egypt and is considered a masterpiece of sculpture from the Amarna period. It was discovered on 6 December 1912 during excavations by the German Oriental Society in Tell el-Amarna, the workshop of the chief sculptor Thutmose.
Princess on the Nile boat: The motif shows Sitamun, a concubine of Amenophis III. Boats made of bundles of bound papyrus were used to transport people and loads. The golden throne of Tut Anch Amun: This throne chair is one of the very few throne chairs from the 18th dynasty. It is easy to imagine the splendour of the palaces of the pharaohs. The throne is made of gilded wood with inlays of gold, silver, semi-precious stones, faience and glass.
Papyrus and ducks: Three ducks fly in a marshy landscape; the bushes are papyrus on the right and sedge on the left. These paintings adorned the floor of Akhenaten's palace in Amarna.
Eye of Horus: This extremely beautiful motif adorns a bracelet made of gold, faience, carnelian and lapis lazuli and was found on the mummy of the pharaoh Sheshin II. The bracelet was placed on the king's arms; it was supposed to protect him and grant him immortality. According to the Book of the Dead, the "udjat" eye was a powerful amulet. Horus eye Vulture and cobra:
The Horus eye is the left lunar eye of the god of light Horus, healed by Thoth, the god of healing. His adversary Seth, the god of darkness, had smashed it in battle. Instead of using it himself, Horus sacrificed it to his father Osiris as a third eye.
With its outstretched wings, the vulture was used as a symbol of protection. It was not only placed on amulets that were given to the dead in their grave, but also above some temple corridors leading into the Holy of Holies.
The cobra / uraeus snake is a symbol of ancient Egyptian iconography. The term means "the one who rears up" and was considered a protective shield for gods and pharaohs in ancient Egypt. In the same capacity, the symbol is also attached to the facades of buildings to protect them.
