Decoration of a Vaulted Ceiling 1473 BC

This 1473 BC artwork, "Decoration of a Vaulted Ceiling," is a fragment of a larger ceiling design. It is a detailed illustration of a repeating pattern in geometric shapes including squares, rectangles, and lines. The artist utilized a muted color palette of browns, greens, blues, and yellows to create the geometric patterns. The use of these colors and geometric patterns are hallmarks of Ancient Egyptian art. This piece, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, is a valuable example of ancient Egyptian architectural decoration.
