Authentic Reproductions of Ancient Egyptian Art by Natalie Watson
About the Artwork
Reproduction of a blue faience bowl found with a large group of vessels in a tomb in Abydos dating to Dynasty 18, c. 1550-1292 BC.
It shows a marsh scene with water, fish, and plant motifs that symbolise the themes of fertility, rebirth, and regeneration. Lotus flowers, lotus buds, and papyrus plants are shown being circled by tilapia fish, whilst the wall of the bowl is decorated with swirling water-like patterns.
