Pelican - Print

The pelican is associated in Ancient Egypt to the afterlife. It was believed to be a protective symbol. The pelican is referred to in the Pyramid Texts as the “mother of the king” and thus seen as a goddess.  It was believed that the pelican possessed the ability to prophesy safe passage in the underworld.

Reproduced from Daniel Mackie's watercolour painting, this print is printed on somerset velvet 225gsm fine art paper.
