This is a rare papyrus fragment approximately 4.2 x 1.0 cm in size. The fragment is painted with genuine hieroglyphs on one side and was originally part of a larger illustration. This nice specimen used to be in a frame with a whole group of other papyrus fragments. I have removed them carefully from the frame and am now offering the fragments individually at a reasonable price. The frame itself was a former Bonhams sale from 7th July 2022 with the SALE NO. 27439 containing over 40 frames. You can check the lot at any time on bonhams.com, just search for "papyrus 35 frames"! This papyrus comes with a copy of the certificate of authenticity that I own. Your fragment can also be seen in a small photo on this certificate. A ownership history is available as well. The piece is dated to the early 14th to mid-13th century BC, making it approximately 3,300 years old. So these is definitely an 100% ancient discovery and a must-have for every antiques collector! I advise against removing it from the plastic bag as it is very fragile. I accept no liability or guarantee for damage to the papyrus during transport to your home. It is in any case a cultural heritage of Egypt's millennia-old history of writing. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Please also take a look at my other offers. I have beautiful items made from and with real papyrus :)
