Fine Art : Paintings : Original, Handpainted Egyptian Papyrus : Genuine Egyptian Artwork : Maat And Hathor

 

Yokefellows Antiques is pleased to offer this unusually large and exquisitely beautiful painting on handmade papyrus paper. Completely mounted and framed under glass, it measures about 4 feet wide and 3 feet tall. The details are exquisite and the colors are vibrant and alive. Gold and silver details create a brilliant reflection effect. This painting depicts the Goddess Ma-at with her wings and the feather of truth in her cap. She is seated before Hathor. Not sure exactly what the cartouche says. I bought this from the original owner who was an important Arts and Antiques dealer in San Francisco, California. He purchased it in Cairo in the early 1930's and was very reluctant to part with it. It was part of his private collection and not for sale at the time. This is a one of a kind! You won't find any other painting of this type with such clarity and quality! This is an eye catcher! A must for devotees of Egyptology.
