Hi:
For some possible common items, the Dover book series has a book entitled 'Egyptian Designs CD-ROM and Clip Art' that might help you. Check Amazon for it. In bookstores like Barnes and Noble, books like this are usually located around the craft and art books.
If I were to try to do something like this, I would try to find museum images to get some ideas from, and if you get a Dover book, you can get the images and with a small projector, also trace them onto your wall or onto paper for further enlarging and placement. Try to check out art history sources, too. I would probably get a sample piece of something like foamcore or gypsum board and do a little practice to see what it might look like. You might also check out some books on mural painting to get tips, too.
Hope this helps, and I hope you are able to do this. Try to post some images when you get a little further along.

Look through an Egyptian history book for ideas....there are also cartouche books which give all the symbols and what they mean. Generally Egyptian rooms were white background with very bright colorings....usually a painted decorative trim (very thick) at the top and bottom of the wall with Egyptian figures and symbols in between. If I wanted to do a room I would use a History of Furniture or Style history book to work from and then draw in pencil the outline on the wall and fill in with color. If you don't think you can draw very well, I would contact the local community college and post in the art department for someone to come in and draw the outlines for you (you could pay them by the hour and it wouldn't take long) ----usually an art student. Good luck and I hope it turns out great!

probable because of the fact the classic Egyptian Empire went very very nearly each of how right down to the tip of the crimson Sea. a number of their people have been Black Africans, and a few have been extra Arabian looking (lighter skinned). cutting-side-day Egypt does not conceal plenty territory, so lots of the individuals are lighter skinned.
