Modern Egyptian Papyrus Painting of Pharaoh Ritual

This item is a modern Egyptian papyrus painting depicting a religious or ceremonial ritual scene. The artwork is rendered on genuine papyrus, evidenced by the visible cross-hatched fibrous texture and vertical/horizontal striations of the dried plant material. The central composition features three figures in classic Egyptian profile: a seated or standing deity (possibly Osiris) wearing an elaborate atef crown and holding the crook and flail, being attended to by a pharaoh or priest offering incense from a burner, while a goddess (possibly Isis or Nephthys) stands behind with a protective uraeus headdress. The color palette consists of traditional earth tones including ochre, terracotta red, carbon black, and dark blue. The edges of the papyrus appear raw and deckled, which is typical for modern souvenir-grade art. Hieroglyphic cartouches are present at the top, though they likely serve a decorative rather than historical purpose. The piece is housed behind glass, which shows significant reflections. The condition appears stable with minor darkening of the papyrus, consistent with late 20th-century decorative tourist art. The craftsmanship shows hand-painted elements over a printed or stamped outline, a common production method for mid-to-high level Egyptian export art.
