Go to your library and take a look at the books on ancient Egypt. There will most likely be a lot of pictures of the wall paintings. I seem to remember quite a few paintings of water bearers, where they have giant jars of water on their shoulders. You can always do some designs that reflect the wall paintings they have found in the pyramids. Those books have a huge wealth of imagery that you can pull ideas from.

Look for hieroglyphs - symbols used for writing in Kemet. They are usually not hard to draw because they were used for writing and thus drawn often.
