My piece of Egyptian art represents the blessing of Pharaoh's son. Pharaoh and his wife are standing in front of godesses Hathor and Isis, who are both goddesses of children, motherhood, etc. Behind the two godesses are the pyramids which represent the little Pharaoh's ancestors, who are also attending the ceremony, and giving the future ruler a blessing. In the background you can also see Horus and Thoth. Horus is the falcon god, and the king of all gods. He is represented in the art piece because he is the one who will lead the future Pharaoh in his journey of becoming a great ruler of Egypt. The god of scribes and writing is supposed to represent the knowledge and intelligence every Pharaoh should have in order to be a successful ruler. The river on the side, as well as the boater, represent what the young pharaoh will rule over. The Nile is the most important part of Egypt, and without it the empire wouldn't have existed. The boater is a middle-classed man, who represents all the people of Egypt the Pharaoh will have to look after, and take care of.
