Egyptian Pharaoh Greetings Card

Exclusive to the British Museum, a greetings card inspired by a study of an ancient Egyptian wall painting.

The card is part of a range accompanying the British Museum exhibition Hieroglyphs: unlocking ancient Egypt.

This greetings card is printed in the UK, and is blank inside for your message.

The design is inspired by a watercolour study by Henry Beechey (1788/9-1862), of an ancient Egyptian wall painting from the tomb of Pharaoh Sety (Seti) I. In the painting, the king is seen holding a sceptre before a table laden with bread. The design also highlights hieroglyphs found on the same wall.

A fascinating card to send to a lover of ancient Egypt.
