Authentic Reproductions of Ancient Egyptian Art by Natalie Watson
Seti Beneath the Persea Tree
Reproduction of a wall painting from the Great Temple at Abydos dating to the reign of Seti I in c. 1290-1279 BC (Dynasty 19).
​The kneeling figure of Seti holds a jewel out to the god Ptah, who sits in a golden shrine. The symbolism in the cunningly wrought jewel is asking for Seti to be granted millions of jubilees and unending life. Both Ptah and Re-Horakhty are giving their approval for Seti, and writing his name into the leaves of the Persea Tree to grant him eternal life and power.
