Ibex, Tomb of Amenhotep 1473 BC

This facsimile of a wall painting from the Tomb of Amenhotep, created in 1473 BC and now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts an ibex. The artist, Nina de Garis Davies, meticulously recreated the original artwork, which features a detailed depiction of the animal against a blue background with a green band at the base. The image demonstrates the artistic techniques of ancient Egypt and provides valuable insight into the cultural significance of animals in Egyptian society.
