Ancient Egyptian Cobra

Cobra4.jpg - 71.4 K
Look for...
*The cobra painted in the headdresses of the figures seated back-to-back, both representing the the Pharaoh Amenhotep I.

*The way the figures of the Pharaoh are posed so the shoulders face you but the hips and legs are in profile. Try sitting this way in your chair.

*The two mummies facing the Pharaoh. The one on the left is of a priest, Bakenmut; the female on the right represents his second wife, Buirharmut.

*Two cobras facing away from each other to create a symmetrical design. What other picture is also a symmetrical design?
