The Pharaoh's Gaze Print

Much of Egyptian life was centered around the Nile; not only to provide them with food and water but also as their main transportation route. Boats such as this one were used often times to carry materials and produce up and down the Egyptian land but they were also used for ceremonial purposes for their many festivals. Here I have tried to capture such a ceremonial boat with beautiful blue sky painted on it with stars just as some of the real boats were painted and in the center is a special chamber to hold perhaps a statue of a god or goddess protected by the Scarab beetle Khepra offering protection. All the while you can see the silhouette of the Pharaoh- the Egyptian's god on Earth looking on making sure the workers handle the task correctly.
