Egyptian Art for the Animal Lover

by Jennifer Quigley

Many animals were held in high regard in ancient Egyptian culture. The ruins of countless temples and The Pharaoh's Royal Egyptian Hound Statue: Anubistombs are carved with everything from depictions of waterbirds to gazelles and jackals. The mummified remains of cats are commonly found in tombs, and several deities were represented by animals ranging from crafty jackals to Zen-like cats, and swift falcons. The rich wildlife of the Nile Delta was the inspiration for featuring animals in everything from Egyptian writing to various types art and that tendency lives on in modern  Egyptian home decor.

Whether you like animals or not, you won't help but be impressed by the Pharaoh's Royal Egyptian Hound Statue. This stunning sculpture shows a royal Egyptian hunting dog alert and ready to take to the game-filled marshes of the Nile Delta. Painted in bright faux silver and gold and around three feet in length, this sculpture is a stunning addition to any room. Use one or even two to flank your front hallway and make guests feel like they are walking into the palace of the Pharaoh!

For people who adore everything feline, you can't wrong in giving them a statue of Bastet, the Egyptian Cat Goddess. This elegant statue is modeled after an actual ancient Egyptian cat sarcophagus and is painted in rich faux silver and gold.

Egyptian Home Decor Also Includes Busts

Wednesday, November 14, 2012
by Jennifer Quigley

Queen Cleopatra Neoclassical Sculptural BustThe bust is an interesting and intimate art form. Instead of showing the full figure of the subject, the entire focus is on the head and especially the face. Although shoulders are also frequently depicted, they are really there to help frame and support the focus of the sculpture. Marble busts were especially popular during the era of the Roman empire but the bust made its appearance much earlier on. One of the earlier known busts is that of the Egyptian queen Nefertiti. Pharaohs, other Egyptian nobility, and many of the Egyptian pantheon were likewise immortalized in bust form. Although that ancient culture died out centuries ago, fortunately, it continues to inspire modern artists to create stunning works of art to this day.

One such work of art is the Queen Cleopatra Neoclassical Sculptural Bust. Modeled after a museum replica, this beautiful bust probably provides an accurate depiction of the real Cleopatra. Polished with a smooth basalt finish, painted with antiqued faux gold, and adorned with a feathered headdress topped with a cobra, this detailed bust will be the centerpiece of any room.

Other Egyptian busts destined to be one of the highlights of any Egyptian decorations collection are the busts of King Ramses II and Queen Nefertiti.

Order these and other stunning Egyptian art items from now until tomorrow, November 15th and pay nothing for standard shipping!
