Illustrated Papyrus Illustrated Papyrus, 4th-3rd century Papyrus, pigment, ink, : 13 9/16 × 6 9/16 in. ( × cm). Because papyrus was a costly material, it was normally reserved for important documents such as administrative records and funerary literature. For the same reason, talented artists usually drew the illustrations. This crudely drawn parade of important Egyptian deities is therefore quite surprising.
