This Egyptian lotus brass wall art is a river frieze in which tall papyrus stems, each topped with a fan-shaped head, take turns with lotus flowers, some open and some still in bud, rising in steady rhythm above rippling water. It is drawn in the manner of an ancient temple relief, calm and orderly across the width of the panel.

Installing and care
The wooden board on the back carries a small hanger, so the panel can simply hang as wall art. To fix it permanently, fix the board to a clean, flat wall using construction adhesive and support it until it cures. Behind a cooktop, leave the clearance your cooktop maker asks for. The panel cannot be cut, so size the space to the full piece. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth, then dry; abrasives and strong cleaners strip the patina.
