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.

Sekhet Aaru, the Field of Reeds Reproduction of a vignette from a wall painting from the Tomb of Sennedjem (TT1) in Deir el-Medina dating to Dynasty 19. Purchase Print About the Artwork This reproduction showcases a wall painting from the Tomb of Sennedjem depicting Spell 110 of the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead. It describes the afterlife that awaits the deceased once they pass through the underworld. The tomb was built in the 19th Dynasty during the reigns of Seti I and Ramesses II for Sennedjem, an official who was part of the community of royal tomb builders at Deir el-Medina. The presence of an ostracon featuring the Tale of Sinuhe placed near his coffin suggests he may have been a scribe and his title ‘Servant of Hathor’ shows he was involved in the cult of the goddess Hathor. Upon the walls of Sennedjem’s barrel-roofed burial chamber are a series of brightly coloured depictions of the man’s journey through the underworld (Duat) and the trials he must face. With the support of the gods, and as a reward for a life lived well, he is given a place in Sekhet Aaru, or the Field of Reeds. Imagined as a fertile paradise fed by canals and filled with flora and fauna, Sekhet Aaru was an idealised version of the Nile landscape. When Sennedjem and his wife reached Sekhet Aaru, they were assigned land to live on by Osiris, the god of the dead. Within the depiction, the couple can be seen ploughing, seeding, and harvesting this land in their finest pleated linens and coiffed hair. The scene gives the impression that, although life in the beyond seems to be a continuation of the earthly life, it is more prosperous, peaceful and pleasant. The fields are large, the plants are tall, the harvest is plenty, and they have two sturdy oxen and fashionable clothes - their reward for honest conduct throughout earthly life. In the top register, Sennedjem can be seen harvesting tall stalks of wheat with a sickle, its notched teeth sawing into the stems of the sheaf he grasps tightly in one hand. His wife Iyneferti follows behind him, collecting the heads of grain from the floor and putting them into her mesh basket. Below, Sennedjem and Iyneferti gather bunches of green crops with ripe seeds. At the bottom, Sennedjem is ploughing the land with the help of two oxen he encourages with a flail. Iyneferti scatters seeds from a basket into the newly tilled earth.
