An ancient civilization was born at the banks of river Nile around 5,000 years ago. Ancient Egypt was also a home to a wide variety of patterns, including the cobblestone pattern, ocean wave pattern, and cloisonné pattern. I used mysterious hieroglyphs and a Sphinx design to decorate this ceramic box, expressing the civilization’s eternal history.
