Egyptian Papyrus Key of Life Ankh

Description :

Discover this beautiful Egyptian papyrus depicting the Key of Life, or ankh, handcrafted in the Nile Delta using the iconic papyrus plant using traditional methods. Each piece is then enhanced with mixed media artistry, combining block print and gouache with beautiful gold highlights.

The ankh, an iconic symbol of ancient Egypt, embodies life, the union of masculine and feminine principles, and the divine power of creation. The upper loop evokes the rising sun, while the horizontal bar represents the Earth's horizon and the vertical bar symbolizes the sun's path. The hieroglyphs surrounding the ankh are blessings or invocations related to life, health, and prosperity. Inspired by the key to Tutankhamun's treasure, this work of art is much more than just a historical artifact; it is a living symbol that continues to inspire and fascinate.
