The Weighing of Hunefer’s Heart in the Presence of the Gods Reproduction of a vignette from the Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead, taken from the Papyrus of Hunefer from c. 1285 BC. Purchase Print About the Artwork In 1285 BC, during the reign of Seti I, a royal scribe called Hunefer put the finishing touches to what would become one of the most celebrated examples of ancient Egyptian funerary art. It was a scroll known as ‘The Book of Going Forth By Day’ which contained the instructions and spells he believed would allow him to reach the afterlife safely. Hunefer was buried with this papyrus scroll in the Theban hills, where they both remained until they were discovered 3,300 years later by archaeologists. At 5.5m long, this Book of the Dead contains columns of detailed instructions, hymns and spells punctuated by beautifully detailed illustrations of Hunefer and the gods. One of the most famous vignettes from the papyrus illustrates Chapter 125 and shows Hunefer navigating the halls of judgment in the underworld. In the vignette, Hunefer is led into the Hall of Truth by Anubis and is greeted by the gods responsible for deciding whether his soul will enter the afterlife or suffer a terrible fate. His heart has been placed upon a set of scales, and Anubis is weighing it against a feather personifying Maat, the concept of truth, justice and cosmic balance. As the source of Hunefer’s emotions, intellect and character, his heart represents the good and bad aspects of his life, and it now stands witness for him in the trial. This is a critical moment in Hunefer’s journey; if he fails this test his heart will be devoured by the terrifying beast called Ammit which sits at the scales and his soul will not be able to reach the afterlife. To ensure this doesn’t happen, he recites the words to spell 30B, instructing his heart not to betray him during the weighing and to be found in balance with Maat. This spell is destined to work, and Thoth, scribe of the gods, proclaims to the assembled deities that Hunefer has “been found true on the great balance”. Horus leads Hunefer to a shrine in which his father Osiris sits enthroned, accompanied by the goddesses Isis and Nephthys, and is welcomed to the afterlife.

The Sculptors' Craft Workshop Reproduction and partial reconstruction of a wall painting showing a bustling craft workshop from the tomb of Nebamun and Ipuky dating to Dynasty 18. Purchase Print About the Artwork This reproduction depicts a bustling ancient Egyptian workshop from the shared tomb of Nebamun and Ipuky in Thebes, dating to the 18th Dynasty (c. 1390–1349 BC). The two men worked at Djeseret Iset, the Small Temple of Medinet Habu, and were trained in sculpting and engraving. They rose to the ranks of ‘Chief Sculptor in the Sacred Place’ and ‘Supervisor of the Balance’, overseeing the craft workshops. The scene illustrates artisans engaged in woodworking, metalworking, and jewellery-making under the supervision of the Chief Sculptor. It provides a wealth of information about the tools and manufacturing techniques used by the ancient craftsmen, which can be used to help interpret archaeological finds. The Chief Sculptor (Left) The largest figure, and therefore the most important, represents either Nebamun or Ipuky (he is unnamed to symbolise both men). Dressed in fine garments, he sits on an elaborate chair, inspecting the craftsmen’s handiwork, which is presented in woven baskets. The Woodworkers (Top Register) Craftsmen construct a catafalque, a platform for transporting the deceased’s mummy to the necropolis. They carve djed pillars and tyet knots into the structure, ensuring divine protection for the journey. The Goldworkers (Middle Register) Artisans skilfully shape gold and precious stones into vessels, statues, and intricate jewellery, demonstrating the workshop’s expertise in luxury craftsmanship. The Metalworkers (Bottom Register) Specialists weigh raw materials, smelt metals, and engrave objects. Their work includes polishing and refining materials to create fine finished products. The Specialist Craftsmen (Bottom Register) Three artisans focus on working with stone and glass, drilling beads, carving stone vases, and threading jewellery, highlighting the variety of skills present in the workshop.

The Winged Goddess Isis Reproduction of the ancient Egyptian goddess Isis, with protective wings outstretched, taken from the golden shrine of Tutankhamun dating to 1324 BC. Purchase Print About the Artwork This artwork is a faithful reproduction of a scene featuring the goddess Isis, taken from the foot of the innermost gold coffin of Tutankhamun, dating to around 1324 BC, during Egypt’s 18th Dynasty. The original image appears on one of the most iconic artefacts ever discovered: a solid gold coffin shaped like Osiris, god of the afterlife, which once held the mummy of the king. In the scene, Isis kneels at the base of the coffin, offering divine protection and guiding the king safely through the journey into the afterlife. She was believed to perform this same role for her husband, Osiris, whom she resurrected after his murder at the hands of his brother, Seth. As the divine mother of Horus, and by extension the reigning king, she represents both mourning and magical rebirth - a powerful protector of the dead. Isis wears a sheer, tight-fitting linen dress which accentuates her form, a beaded floral collar, and gold jewellery. Her black wig is secured with a headband, and on top of her head sits the throne hieroglyph, the sign that represents her name in ancient Egyptian writing. She stands upon the 'nebu' sign, a hieroglyph meaning gold, formed from a collar of beads. Gold was no ordinary metal in ancient Egypt: it was considered indestructible, symbolic of the sun’s brilliance, and thought to be the flesh of the gods. The image depicted here comes from the innermost of three nested coffins discovered inside Tutankhamun’s burial chamber in the Valley of the Kings. This particular coffin, crafted from over 110 kilograms of solid gold, is now housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Its form mirrors the shape of Osiris, with the king's body shown grasping the heka sceptre and flail, traditional emblems of divine kingship. Both inside and out, the coffin is intricately decorated with incised texts and protective spells, linking Tutankhamun to the gods and ensuring his eternal life.
