Egyptian Blessing: God Stand between you and Harm Poster
"May God be between you and harm in all the empty places you must walk." Original translation from English into 18th Dynasty Egyptian.
I combined the variations for my translation, which is highly idiomatic in order to maintain the spirit of the quote. Its literal translation is more like:
"(May) good god stand up (to help) between you (plural) and harm in all the empty lands (deserts) you are made to traverse."
There are many ways to translate from English into XVIII Dynasty Egyptian. I tried to make this one as ambiguous as possible.
"May" is implied in Egyptian texts of this type. The lack of articles makes it possible to interpret this quote as polytheistic (a good god), pharonic (the good god, usually the pharaoh, or the living god who walks the earth), or monotheistic (the good God). Your choice. The sun can be Lorien or Aten. Your choice. The people can be Susan Ivanova and Marcus Cole or a couple of farmers or Israelites. Your choice.
Transliteration: chc ntr r imytw tn r yt mbw dsrt shmt twtn.
Transliteration for an American accent:
Akha netcher er imytoo wed tsen er yet
Mebew desert erdah shemeh tewetsen.

I hung this in the stairwell of our house, near some other Renoir pictures. My daughter says it looks like she is looking at her when she walks up the stairs.
it's called "The Excursionist", she is holding a walking stick. Renoir was an impressionist, I don't think this is an actual person. The finished framed picture arrived and looks better than the online pic - Beautiful!

Absolutely superb Art Deco poster. The colours are vibrant, sympathetic to the era and perfect for use. I framed it and hung above the entrance to my Art Deco inspired lounge room. Stunning! The print is precise, clear and of an excellent standard. It was cleverly packaged so there wasn’t a blemish or crease. Perfect!
