∙ 12y agoBlack ink was produced from soot mixed with the juice of the papyrus plant (acting as a gum or binder).
Red ink was produced from very finely ground burned ochre, also mixed with papyrus juice. Ochre is a natural mineral pigment that is commonly found in the form of brownish-yellow clay. Toasting or burning it makes it turn red.
Scribes always carried quantities of both colours of ink, along with wood or stone palettes, a leather bag containing a pot of water and rush or reed pens.
