Description
In this scene from the Book of the Dead, the lady Tjawtayundenit is offering burning incense to the gods. Incense was a most prized and luxurious commodity in ancient Egypt, and was believed to purify the air with its sweet, pungent smell. The Egyptian word for incense was snTr, senetjer, meaning ‘to make divine’.
And now you can show off your Egyptology geekery by sipping your beverage of choice from this stylish mug.
This scene is a detail from a page of the Book of the Dead funerary text. It has been photographed using a macro lens to bring out the detail in the brush strokes and lit to highlight the texture of the papyrus. It’s from the collection at the Garstang Museum of Archaeology in Liverpool (accession number E.507(1)). The owner of the manuscript was a woman called Tjawtayundenit, a songstress of Amun-Re, who lived in Egypt during the 21st Dynasty (1069–945 BC).
About your mug
Your mug is an 11oz ceramic mug, a standard size for your tea, coffee or hot chocolate 😋
The design is printed using the dye sublimation process, which creates high-quality, detailed, vibrant images. It also means your mug is safe to use in both the microwave and the dishwasher.
Your mug will be produced and dispatched in the UK, usually within 2–3 working days.
Delivery to the UK usually takes a couple of days; other countries can take up to a couple of weeks or more, depending on where you are in the world. Please bear in mind that these are average times, and delivery during busy periods could take longer.
Each mug is printed to order, meaning resources are used only as and when needed, and are mailed in 100% plastic-free, recyclable packaging.
The inks used to print the design are water-based and are free from harmful chemicals and animal products, making them vegan-friendly and eco-friendly.

Please note that computer monitors and mobile devices can show colours in slightly different ways and intensities. If the colours on your mug 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 mug 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 mug, 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!
