On the top are eyes representing the moon and sun. The left eye is that of Horus (Wedjat) that got knocked out when he was in battle with his Uncle Seth. Horus’ right eye was thus considered to be the sun. In between the eyes is the shen ring. This never-ending circle was the symbol for eternity. Below that is a cup and three wavy lines representing water. The two people in the scene are husband and wife. The wife is presenting her husband with two necklaces. The one on the left has the signs-nefer (love, goodness and beauty). The size of this papyrus painting is approximately 12" by 16".
