Examples of framed Papyrus
(Click on any of the pictures to view a larger and clearer image.)

There are many different ways to frame papyrus.
The most conventional way is to show the whole
Papyrus including the edges.
There are two ways of achieving this, the first is to sandwich the
Papyrus between two pieces of glass on the back and front.
The picture on the right and below are framed using
this method, in both cases there is approximately
50mm between the Papyrus and
the frame showing thewall colour through the glass.
This works well if you have a plain colour wall.
This method is used by most museums in Egypt
showing off the whole Papyrus.

Another method of framing Papyrus is to mount the
Papyrus onto a backing mount.
The Papyrus below is mounted onto a blue
suede mount board, this method still allows the
natural edges of the Papyrus to be seen.
By mounting the Papyrus onto a backing mount you can
choose almost any colour to compliment the picture, this
a better choice if your wall colour is not suitable.
