Gifts from the Keftiu, Tomb of Rekhmire 1479 BC

"Gifts from the Keftiu" is a facsimile of a wall painting from the tomb of Rekhmire, an Egyptian official who lived during the 18th Dynasty. It depicts a procession of gifts brought from the Keftiu, an ancient civilization in the Aegean Sea. The painting shows a variety of objects, including vases, bowls, jewelry, and animals. The use of gold leaf in the painting gives it a rich and opulent appearance. This painting is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection and is a valuable record of the trade and cultural exchange between Egypt and other civilizations during the New Kingdom.
