This facsimile of a wall painting from the Tomb of Haremhab, an Egyptian pharaoh who reigned from 1319 to 1295 BC, depicts a funeral boat scene. The painting shows the deceased, seated on a boat, with two figures standing behind. The scene is framed by decorative elements including a canopy with a floral pattern and a border of blue and white. The painting is a testament to the intricate artistry of Ancient Egypt and provides insight into their funerary practices. This artwork, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a valuable record of Egyptian history and culture.
