Syrians Bringing an Ingot and a Chariot, tomb of Rekhmire 1504 BC

This facsimile of a tomb painting from the 18th Dynasty of Egypt depicts a group of Syrians bringing an ingot of metal and a chariot to the tomb of Rekhmire, a high-ranking official. The scene, originally painted on the wall of the tomb, is a vivid example of the tribute offered to powerful Egyptians during the New Kingdom. The painting, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was created by Nina de Garis Davies in the early 20th century. The work, featuring a colorful palette and detailed representation of the figures and objects, provides a glimpse into the vibrant and complex world of ancient Egypt.
