Epimystic
A flat graphic painting on a bright yellow ground: bands of black hieroglyphs, a scarab beetle with a red sun disc, a seated black cat, the blue-and-gold mask of Tutankhamun, Nefertiti in profile with her crown, and a winged figure holding an ankh.

Room 02 · Devotional

The Gods of the Nile

Scarab, cat, boy-king and queen, set down flat and black on a field of sun.

Hangs in Devotional, room 02 of 14: Older grammars — folk, ornament, and the painted god — kept alive by copying them well.
