Face of Puyemre 1473 BC

"Face of Puyemre" is a fragment of a painted plaster relief from an Egyptian tomb dating back to 1473 BC. The artwork, which is currently located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts the face of a woman with details of her headdress and the top of her garment visible. It was likely part of a larger scene and provides insight into Egyptian funerary art and the importance of the afterlife in ancient Egyptian culture. The relief is a valuable example of the artistic techniques and stylistic elements of the Late Period. The detail in the face, particularly the eyes and the headdress, demonstrate the skill of the artist in portraying individual features and religious iconography.
