Facsimile of the painting on the inner back side of the sarcophagus of Aashyt 2051 BC

This facsimile, created by Charles K. Wilkinson in 1986, replicates a painting from the inner back of the sarcophagus of Aashyt, dating back to 2051 BC. The painting, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts a scene of daily life in Ancient Egypt. The figures are arranged in a procession with various activities, including offering libations, tending to livestock, and processing food. The stylized figures and the use of hieroglyphs are characteristic of Ancient Egyptian art, showcasing the artistic conventions of the era.
