Practicing kemetic pagan, located in Scotland. Posting treasures I stumble upon during study.

Horus and Set depicted performing the Sema-Tawy ritual (a representation of Egypt's unification). To note, this ritual is usually depicted as being performed by the God Hapi, who is associated with the Nile's annual flooding, fertility, etc.

"Netting Birds", from the tomb of Khnumhotep - Middle Kingdom. Part of a wonderfully decorated tomb, showing and celebrating the life of the deceased in plenty of carefully-crafted detail within the tomb.
This recreation of the tomb paining was done by Norman de Garis Davies.

Papyrus Marshes - originally from around 1400 BC (New Kingdom, according to its museum entry). Found in ancient Thebes within the tomb of Qenamun (an overseer of the cattle of Amun).
It was believed that papyrus marshes, such as this one, lay at the edge of the world of being, and thus they carry plenty of significance in Ancient Egyptian mythology.
There are also certain images depicting Hathor (see second image) emerging from papyrus marshes, perhaps after nursing/healing Horus-The-Child (HerusaAset).

This specific image was recreated (from a tomb painting) by Hugh R. Hopgood for the MET museum.

Ancient Egyptian votive bowl - unfortunately, I have lost it's museum number but I believe it's currently being held by the British Museum.

I believe the figure in the middle is Hathor, as she is often depicted in the form of a cow.

A beautiful work of art.
