South Wall of Nakht's Offering Chapel 1410 BC

This 1410 BC wall painting from the tomb of Nakht, an Egyptian official, depicts a scene of offerings. The painting shows figures presenting offerings of food, wine, and other goods to the deceased. The figures are depicted in a simplified, stylized manner, which is characteristic of ancient Egyptian art. This piece is a fine example of the intricate wall paintings that were used to decorate the tombs of ancient Egyptian nobles, which were meant to ensure the deceased's well-being in the afterlife. The painting is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
