This painted tomb scene from the 1327 BC tomb of Neferhotep depicts boats carrying mourners and provisions to the afterlife. The scene includes figures in boats, provisions for the afterlife, and hieroglyphs. Created by Nina de Garis Davies in the early 20th century, the painting is an important record of ancient Egyptian beliefs about death and the afterlife. It is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
