Userhat and Wife Visit Abydos, Tomb of Userhat 1294 BC

This 1:1 facsimile of a tomb painting by Norman de Garis Davies depicts Userhat and his wife visiting Abydos in 1294 BC. The scene shows the couple on boats, likely symbolic of their journey to the afterlife. The boats are decorated with intricate patterns, while Userhat and his wife are shown in traditional Egyptian attire. The painting, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the beliefs and artistic traditions of Ancient Egypt, particularly the importance of the afterlife and the role of the god Anubis, who appears as a jackal-headed figure at the far right.
