Resumen
Los motivos vegetales fueron de gran importancia en las artes del antiguo Egipto. Fueron interesante por sus unidades decorativas y sus formas estéticas. La flor de loto fue una de las más conocidas plantas de la antigua civilización egipcia gracias a su asociación con la religiosidad y la vida cotidiana de los antiguos egipcios. Esta flor, de colores blanco, azul y rojo como símbolo de la vida en Egipto, no sólo era un componente este´tico decorativo que se representaba en las paredes de los templos o se empleaba en la fabricación de cosméticos y perfumes, sino que también se empleaba en la decoración de palacio, casas y tumbas. Este estudio investiga cómo los antiguos egipcios imitaron la flor de loto en la arquitectura y la utilizaron en la decoración decorativa de paredes y techos en escenas naturalistas en la decoración de paredes o techos con composición floral, y también en forma de cenefa estampada (friso), tanto en arquitectura civil como religiosa.
