The Creation of the World Reproduction of a scene from a 21st Dynasty mythological papyrus. Purchase Print About the Artwork This reproduction of a mythological scene comes from a papyrus which belonged to Nespakashuty (or Nespakachouty), the accountant-scribe of the Theban granaries of Amun, who lived during Dynasty 21 (1069-945 BC). The vignette illustrates the ancient Egyptian myth of the separation of heaven and earth, a foundational moment in the creation of the world. At the beginning of time, Nut, the sky goddess, and her brother-husband Geb, the earth god, were locked in an inseparable embrace. Their father, the air god Shu, was tasked with forcing them apart, lifting Nut high above Geb to create the space in which life could exist. This cosmic act established the fundamental order of the universe by separating the heavens from the earth and allowing the daily cycle of the sun to begin. In this scene, Nut is depicted as a naked woman arching over Geb, her body symbolising the vault of the heavens, whilst Geb, lying below, embodies the fertile earth. Between them, the solar boat sails across the newly created expanse, carrying a deity crowned with the solar disk and accompanied by the goddess Maat, who holds the ankh—the symbol of life. The presence of Maat reinforces the idea that cosmic balance and order were established through this divine separation. Papyrus scrolls containing such vignettes are known as "mythological papyri," a specialised category of funerary books that circulated exclusively among the priesthood of Amun at Thebes during Dynasty 21. Unlike traditional funerary texts, which relied heavily on written spells, mythological papyri used richly detailed illustrations to depict the deceased’s journey through the Underworld, paralleling the sun’s passage through the night sky. The separation of Nut and Geb thus not only represents the dawn of creation but also echoes the promise of rebirth in the afterlife, ensuring the deceased’s safe passage into eternity.

How I Recreate Ancient Egyptian Art Research: The Foundation of Everything Accuracy is at the heart of my work. Each piece begins with in-depth research into the original site, period, and purpose of the artwork. I consult archaeological reports, museum publications, historical sketches, and modern high-resolution photography to understand both the art and its context. When pieces are damaged or incomplete, I reference similar examples from the same period or site to reconstruct the missing elements as faithfully as possible. Drawing the Lines: Precision and Structure Ancient Egyptian artists followed strict compositional rules. I replicate their approach digitally by setting up baselines and registers in Photoshop, using red for initial drafts and black for final outlines, just as they did. Working from high-resolution imagery, I correct for lens distortion and surface warping, then use close-up references to redraw fine details. Where necessary, I fill in lost areas with comparisons from matching artworks to retain stylistic authenticity. Adding Colour: Symbolism and Tradition Colour in ancient Egypt carried symbolic meaning. I work with a carefully curated palette based on natural mineral pigments used in antiquity, ochres, carbon, malachite, azurite, and more. I digitally paint each piece by adding colour beneath the drawn lines, recreating the original look and feel of polychrome wall paintings. This process allows me to save both monochrome line versions and full-colour renderings of each artwork. “I've never come across such authentic renderings before… the colours are so vibrant and the detail is remarkable.” - Mark, Somerset, UK Sharing the Stories Behind the Scenes Each reproduction reveals something new, whether it’s a hidden detail, a translation of hieroglyphs, or a glimpse into the ancient artist’s process. I document these discoveries in short articles, which you can explore here on my website. They're written to make academic research accessible and to enrich your appreciation of the pieces.

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.
