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.The image shows Re with a ram’s head, travelling through the 12th hour of the Amduat on his barque. The serpent Mehen encircles him and protects him from harm in the underworld.

And now you can show off your Egyptology geekery by sipping your beverage of choice from this stylish mug.

Own a piece of artwork from the walls of the Tate Liverpool! This photo was featured in the Garstang’s Tate Exchange Workshop in December 2017; an exhibition centered around the surrealism of the ancient Egyptian afterlife.

The photo on this mug comes 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, to bring out as much detail as possible, and is an exclusive design you won’t find elsewhere.

Your mug is an 11oz ceramic mug, a standard size for your tea, coffee or hot chocolate. It is both microwave- and dishwasher-safe.

Each mug is printed to order, meaning resources are used only as and when needed, and are mailed in 100% plastic-free, recyclable packaging.

Your mug will be produced in either the UK or USA, depending on where you’re ordering from, and dispatched within 3–5 days. Delivery time will depend upon where you are in the world, but should take anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks.

When your order arrives, if the colours on your product don’t look quite the same as how they look on your screen, please remember that computer monitors and mobile devices can show colours in slightly different ways and intensities. However, if there’s an obvious problem with print quality – or your product 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 order, 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 returns for the sake of, e.g., trying different sizes or designs. Thanks!
