Papyrus is a material similar to thick paper that was used in ancient times as a writing surface. It was hand made from the pith of an aquatic plant and has naturally occurring vertical and horizontal lines throughout. The image of this Egyptian pharaoh, quite likely Tutankhamen, was hand painted with metallic paints and then professionally framed on a blue matte in a gold wood frame. less
