Bas-Relief Ancient Egyptian and Greek Art Reproductions - For Sale
Egyptiangreekart
My name is SAJ and I'm an up-an-coming artist from the Bay Area. I'm also an
avid student of Egyptology and have studied this subject for several years.
As an artist, I've chosen to reproduce some of the most beautiful fine artworks
from tomb representations of the Ancient Egyptians, and Ancient Greeks. Most of
the subjects I've chosen were in jeopardy of deterioration as time has
revealed.
If you're a connoisseur of Fine Art with an emphasis in Ancient Egypt and
Greece, you will appreciate some of my art for sale painted in a bas-relief
style.
Unfortunately I don't have a website at this time. However, if you're
interested in any of my paintings, please drop me an email at the email address
below and I'll provide you with pictures (jpg) for each one that you request.
Thank you.

The goddess of truth and justice in Egypt. Ma'at was represented by a woman

the universe and set down the code of right behavior for human beings. The king
was under the guidance of Ma'at, as were his subjects, and he is sometimes
shown in temple reliefs presenting a small statue of Ma'at to the gods. She was
the daughter of Re', and established order where there had previously been
darkness and chaos. On the Day of Judgement the feather of Ma'at was placed in
one of the pans of the weighing scales to balance against the heart of the
deceased and to establish whether he was "true of voice."
