    Description

    Egypt has a proud and continuing tradition of the ancient art of papyrus painting.
    Every papyrus painting is a hand-painted masterpiece. They are made from genuine papyrus paper.
    Each painting is very unique and truly only one of a kind. This would be a great collectible or a unique gift.
    - How Papyrus Is Made -
    Papyrus was, and continues today to be made from the papyrus reed that grows in freshwater marshes along the river Nile. The plant grows to about a height of ten feet. After harvesting, the outer fibers are peeled away from the core of the stalk and sliced into very thin strips that are as broad as possible. Next, the strips are soaked in water to remove the sugar content. They then are pounded until all the water is drained away. They are then placed side by side, overlapping slightly. This raw papyrus sheet is pounded again, and left under a heavy weight- (usually a stone slab) to dry for approximately six days. Finally, after drying, the surface of the sheet is polished to a smooth finish by rubbing it with a shell or a piece of smooth ivory. Papyrus sheets are then ready for use.
