Papyrus Products
Papyrus was used from ancient times for items ranging
from ship sails and cords to mats. The most extensive use of
this grass was as paper for legal and personal correspondence.
Although world-wide use of papyrus basically halted around the
12 th century, contemporary artisans have adopted the product
as a canvas for a variety of works.
The available selections range from simple renderings of Egyptian
royalty to elaborate, full-color scenes from daily life in the
ancient world. Among the royalty featured are queens Cleopatra,
Nefertiti and Nefertari; a variety of King Tut images, Ramsess
II, the Horus Eye, the Winged Maat and the Sphinx.
