Name Rings of Subject Nations Beneath the King's Throne 1427 BC

"Name Rings of Subject Nations Beneath the King's Throne" is a facsimile of an ancient Egyptian tomb painting, created by Nina de Garis Davies in 1927. The painting depicts a procession of foreign figures representing various subject nations, all bowing before the throne of the pharaoh. The figures are rendered in a stylized, hieratic manner, their names and attributes inscribed in hieroglyphs. This work is part of a larger series of facsimiles Davies created, aiming to preserve and document the fragile wall paintings of Egyptian tombs. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this particular facsimile, allowing visitors to explore and understand the rich symbolism and cultural significance of ancient Egyptian art.
