Abstract

This research traces Nile scenes on wall reliefs and applied arts during the Coptic and Islamic eras, from the fourth to the fourteenth century. The most common scenes of the Nile were those dedicated to fishing, sailing and those representing living creatures associated with the Nile as birds, plants and fish. The research also highlights the difference between artistic topics covered during two periods; Coptic and Islamic and discusses permission and prohibition in the representation of living creatures in Christian and Islamic periods, based on models and applied arts.
