- The Sculptors' Craft Workshop | Wonderful Things Art
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.

- Offering Stela of Neskhons | Wonderful Things Art
Offering Stela of Neskhons Reproduction of the painted wooden funerary stela of Neskhons, wife of the High Priest of Amun, Pinedjem II, dating to c. 965 BC (Dynasty 21). Purchase Print About the Artwork The Offering Stela of Neskhons is a remarkable example of 21st Dynasty funerary art, dating to approximately 965 BC. This painted wooden stela depicts Neskhons, the wife of the High Priest of Amun, Pinedjem II, presenting offerings to the god Osiris. The scene symbolises her desire to gain Osiris’ protection and secure a favourable place in the afterlife. Funerary stelae served as symbolic gateways between the realms of the living and the dead. These artefacts were designed to facilitate communication with the gods, ensuring the deceased's safe passage and ongoing protection in the afterlife. Often placed in tomb chapels or other sacred spaces, they provided a focal point for family members or priests to recite prayers and perform rituals, actions believed to sustain and strengthen the deceased’s presence in the afterlife. Neskhons’ stela depicts a richly laden offering table with bread, birds, meat, and flowers, essential provisions for her ka (spiritual essence). These offerings symbolised the nourishment she required in the afterlife and reinforced the belief that sustenance could be perpetually supplied, either through physical offerings made by her family or symbolically through the stela’s imagery. Translation Seven vertical columns of hieroglyphs above the scene identify the god as Osiris with epithets and Neskhons as: “The Osiris the great head of the first troupe of Amun-Ra king of the gods, the god's servant of Khnum lord of the First Cataract, king's son of Kush, overseer of the southern hill-lands, god's servant of the Lady of Offerings of Serudet, head of noblewomen Neskhons, true of voice.” Art Ref DP115 Read My Article Available to purchase as Giclée Print Object Record Object Type Stela Materials Wood Date c. 1070–945 BC Period Dynasty 21, Third Intermediate Period Findspot Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology Dimensions Height 39.5 cm Current Location Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology Object Number UC14226 People Depicted Neskhons Deities Depicted Osiris Animals Depicted None Themes Deities, Offerings Love ancient Egypt?

- Khepri and Thoth’s Sacred Baboons | Wonderful Things Art
Khepri and Thoth’s Sacred Baboons Reproduction of a relief panel of a sacred scene rich in solar and lunar symbolism dating to approximately 380–343 BC, during the Late Period–early Ptolemaic era. Purchase Print About the Artwork This ancient Egyptian relief panel presents a sacred scene rich in solar and lunar symbolism. At its centre is Khepri, the scarab beetle deity associated with the rising sun, transformation, and rebirth. Flanking him are two baboons, creatures sacred to the god Thoth, who offer Wadjet eyes in an act of devotion and restoration. The depiction of the baboons with fanned fingertips is characteristic of 30th Dynasty art, allowing us to date this relief to approximately 380–343 BC, during the Late Period–early Ptolemaic era. At the heart of the composition, Khepri is shown holding a star within a circular disk, a symbol of the Duat—the underworld and the realm of transformation before rebirth. In ancient Egyptian cosmology, the scarab beetle was seen as a manifestation of the sun as it emerged each morning from the darkness of the netherworld. Beneath Khepri, a large sun disk emits cascading rays, reinforcing the theme of divine renewal and cosmic order. The two baboons, commonly depicted in ancient Egyptian art as heralds of the dawn, are directly linked to Thoth, the god of wisdom, writing, and time. Their presentation of the Wadjet (Eye of Horus) to Khepri suggests an act of restoration, aligning with Thoth’s role in healing and maintaining divine balance. The Wadjet itself symbolises protection, health, and completeness, reinforcing the theme of cosmic stability. Each baboon wears a shen ring atop its head, a hieroglyphic symbol of eternity, which may also serve as a stylised representation of the lunar disk and crescent often associated with Thoth’s sacred baboons. This connection to the moon further ties the imagery to the cyclical nature of time and celestial balance, as Thoth governed both lunar and solar aspects of ancient Egyptian cosmology.

Purchase Print About the Artwork This reproduction captures a vignette from the Great Harris Papyrus, a memorial document produced following the death of Rameses III (c. 1184-1153 BC) by his son Ramesses IV. In this vignette, Ramesses III stands before the holy family of the ancient city of Memphis: Ptah, the patron of craftsmen, his consort the lion-headed goddess Sekhmet, and their child, Nefertum, god of the lotus. The king is shown making offerings to the resident deities, with hieratic text identifying each of the figures and recording his address to Ptah and the Memphite Triad. The king is identified by his two chief names given in cartouches above him: Lord of the Two Lands, Usermaatre Meryamun (Strong is the Maat of Re, beloved of Amun) Lord of Appearances Ramessu heqa Iunu (Ramesses, ruler of Heliopolis) He is making a gesture indicating he is speaking to the gods before him, and the two columns of hieratic record his words: I tell the prayers, praises, adorations, laudations, mighty deeds, and benefactions, which I did for you in your presence, O Resi-inebef (South-of-His-Wall) Ramesses is facing Ptah, the chief deity of Memphis, who is labelled with stands on a dais in the shape of the symbol Maat.

- Ramesses II in his War Chariot | Wonderful Things Art
Ramesses II in his War Chariot Reproduction of a wall relief from the Great Temple at Abu Simbel dating to the reign of Ramesses II in c. 1250 BC (Dynasty 19). Purchase Print About the Artwork This reproduction is a reconstruction of a relief from the Great Temple of Abu Simbel. It is one of many scenes in the Great Hypostyle Hall glorifying Ramesses II's military achievements. It likely depicts a moment from the Battle of Kadesh, one of the most famous military campaigns in ancient Egypt, and is designed to glorify the king’s divine authority and military prowess. Central to the composition is Ramesses, standing tall in his war chariot with a drawn bow, embodying his roles as both warrior and leader. His ceremonial blue crown, the Khepresh, shows his personal involvement and command during battle. His lightweight, two-wheeled chariot, a hallmark of New Kingdom warfare, is pulled by two galloping horses shown in dynamic motion. Engineered for speed and agility, the chariot enabled superior manoeuvrability in combat. The horses, adorned with plumed headdresses and depicted as strong and muscular, represent both the wealth of the pharaoh and the divine favour supporting his victories. The fortified town under assault appears on a hill to the left, symbolising its strategic importance yet inevitable vulnerability. Chaos reigns within the fortification: defenders surrender, an archer flees with cattle, and on the highest tier, a woman lifts a child in a plea for mercy while a man offers submission. This vivid portrayal of defeat demonstrates Ramesses’s unyielding might to all who view the scene. Translation – Words Above the Horse The Good God, son of Amun, Valorous(?), Lord of Might, who protects his army, the strong fighter, who knows his obligation, steady on the chariot like the Lord of Thebes, Lord of Victory, who battles tens of thousands, strong bull among the multitudes, beating the united (confederacy) and crushing the rebels upon the mountains. They enter into their valley like locusts, may you put [your] slaughter in their place, you annihilate their descendants, Oh King, victorious of might!
