Re and Mehen: fine-art print

Description

According to ancient Egyptian mythology, the sun-god Re spent the night travelling through the underworld in his barge, fighting the great serpent Apophis and regenerating from old age back into youth in preparation for a new day’s travel across the sky.

In this detail from an ancient Egyptian papyrus, we see Re with a ram’s head, travelling through the 12th hour of the Amduat. He’s protected by the serpent Mehen, who encircles him and protects him from harm in the underworld.

This photo is of a detail from the Amduat of the lady Tjawtayundenit now in the collection at the the Garstang Museum of Archaeology in Liverpool. Tjawtayundenit was a songstress of Amun-Re, who lived in Egypt during the 21st Dynasty (1069–945 BC). The papyrus was photographed with a macro lens, so the image on the t-shirt is many times the size of the original piece, and is an exclusive design you won’t find elsewhere.

In order to keep your print in tip-top condition, please consider the following:

• Avoid hanging it in direct sunlight
• Avoid subjecting it to temperature and humidity fluctuations, e.g. above a radiator, next to a drafty window, or on outer walls
• If direct or bright sunlight is unavoidable, consider buying a frame with UV protective glass
• If you get your print mounted/matted, ask for 100% cotton fibre, acid-free unbuffered mount boards

Returns policy

Please note that computer monitors and mobile devices can show colours in slightly different ways and intensities. If the colours in your print don’t look quite the same as how they look on your screen, this is why. However, if there’s an obvious problem with print quality – or your print arrives damaged – please let me know, along with some photos, so I can organise a replacement.

If delivery is significantly delayed (excluding longer delivery times during busy periods or times of strike action), please let me know so we can come up with a solution.

If, when you receive your print, you change your mind, you can return it within 14 days of delivery for a refund or store credit. Just drop me an email if this is the case. Please remember, however, that I am one person, and that I don’t have the financial cushion that large retailers do to be able to offset the cost of lots of returns. Thanks!
