Papyrus

First of all let me tell you I'm not very fond of this kind of artwork, but ... there was a similar painted papyrus hanging on the wall of my hotel bedroom in Cairo and one night I dreamt about it, so I thought it was some kind of sign from the Egyptian Gods and got this one... :-)

Desert rose is the name given to rosette formations of gypsum (gesso) and barite, with sand inclusions.
Both brought from the Atlas chain, in Marocco.
