This facsimile, created by Charles K. Wilkinson in the 20th century, depicts the painting found on the inside of the foot end of the sarcophagus of Aashyt, a high official during the reign of the Egyptian pharaoh Amenemhat III. The original painting dates back to 2051 BC. The image showcases a series of hieroglyphics, a row of vessels and a depiction of six sandals worn by Aashyt in the afterlife. It is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
