    Does anyone on CW read/ understand Egyptian writings?
    I would love to learn more about this item, like what does the writing say?
    It seems to me the priest is taking the virgin (?) to a sacrifice and it looks like she is resenting.
    Also wondering what material is the artwork made from.

      Papyrus "paper", the "priest" is Horus or a pharaoh

      It is the God of vengeance, sky, protection, and war, Horus. Any basic book on hyroglyphics or even a website can help you read this, provided it really says something.
