Granite stone pillar from the 18th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, carved with inscriptions on papyrus paper
This cultural relic is a papyrus column made of gray granite. Its style suggests that its production date may have been in the early 18th dynasty, and all inscriptions were carved later. In ancient Egyptian religion, a papyrus pillar was a talisman symbolizing freshness, youth, vitality, and the continuation of life. This talisman is made of glazed pottery or various types of stones, shaped like the stem and bud of papyrus paper. Its significance may stem from its pictographic value, as, just like plants themselves, they have vitality and growth, so people wearing papyrus paper pillar amulets will also possess these qualities. The papyrus columns are collected in the National Museum of Egypt.
