"Funeral Procession, Tomb of Pairy" is a 1390 BC Egyptian wall painting, created by Nina de Garis Davies and now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This facsimile of a tomb painting depicts a procession of mourners accompanying the deceased, Pairy, to his final resting place.
