    • Name of Shop: Hamees Papyrus

    Papyrus is a plant that comes out of the Nile River Valley, and it is used to create paper. Strands of the plant are seperated, laid out, pressed, and then used as the original parchment paper.

    This picture is of the top of the papyrus plant before it becomes art!

    What To Buy: Definitely a nice picture of Ramses or Hatshetsup on Papyrus paper

    What To Pay: From $10 US to 800, depending on the art at the end.
