Authentic Reproductions of Ancient Egyptian Art by Natalie Watson
About the Artwork
Reproduction of a relief from a chapel in the Temple of Seti I, dating to Dynasty 19 (around 1290–1279 BC).
The king sits between the Two Ladies, the vulture goddess Nekhbet of Upper Egypt, and the cobra goddess Wadjet, her counterpart in Lower Egypt, surrounded by symbols relating to the concept of unity. The ritual unification of the Two Lands is also symbolised by the sema-tawi symbol, combining a knotted papyrus plant representing Upper Egypt and a reed plant representing Lower Egypt.
