Ceiling on the North Side of Nakht's Offering Chapel 1410 BC

This is a 1:1 scale reproduction of the ceiling of Nakht's Offering Chapel, a tomb in the Egyptian necropolis of Thebes. The artwork is dated to 1410 BC and depicts a complex geometric pattern of diamonds, zigzags, and dots, painted in red, blue, green, and yellow hues. Created by Norman de Garis Davies in the early 20th century, this faithful copy showcases the artistry and decorative style of ancient Egyptian tomb architecture. The repetition of simple shapes, rendered in vibrant colors, speaks to the Egyptians' belief in the cyclical nature of life and the afterlife, echoing the eternal return of the sun.
