Wall painting carvings collection

 'Flutist in Kheruef's tomb at Luxor.

This relief detail in the tomb of Kheruef shows a flutist who performs on the occasion of the First Jubilee (heb sed) festival of Amenhotep III, whose cartouche can be seen at the top of the picture. Kheruef was steward of Queen Tiy, the wife of Amenhotep III, and played an important role during festivals. His (unfinished) tomb (TT 192) can be found in the Asasif Necropolis on the Westbank at Luxor. It is one of the so called "Tombs of the Nobles".



The Agnostic Egyptian
Musicians perform as the seminary priest offers libation. A harpist, flute and lute player can be seen performing a Harper’s Song.
Interestingly, the Harper’s Song accompanying this scene within the Chapel of Pa-Aten-Em-Heb, has a somewhat agnostic lyric, telling the listener through song, that lamenting and worrying about an Afterlife is seldom constructive, and one should enjoy life on Earth, rather than obsess and worry over death:
“Make holiday, don’t weary of it/ Look, there is no one allowed to take their things with them/ And there is no one who goes away comes back again.”
The song’s initial line states that the song was transcribed from the tomb of King Intef (a name used by various rulers from the 11th and 17th Dynasties).
Such a song is also found on the Ramesside Period’s Harris 500 papyrus, and scholars agree that both the Harpers Song of Pa-Aten-Em-Heb’s chapel and the Ramesside era lyric are both copies of the Middle Kingdom songs with the same theme.
Scene depicted within the Chapel of Pa-Aten-Em-Heb, Commander-in-chief of Akhenaten’s army, at Saqqara.
New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, c. 1353–1336 B.C.
Now on display at the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, Leiden, Netherlands.

A.D. 1922; original ca. 1279–1213 B.C.
Each year several commemorative festivals were held in the artisans’ village of Deir el-Medina in celebration of its founder, the deified king Amenhotep I. Here, the horizontal beams indicate that his elaborate statue sits on top of a palanquin, which was used during processions. The palanquin features the protective figures of a goddess with outstretched wings, a striding sphinx wearing the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt



Married couple. Relief from the tomb of Vizier Ramose. Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, Luxor. 14th century BC (c) Victor Solkin
ORIGINAL AND REPAIRED
We do not know how marriage was performed in Egypt, but one thing is clear: a woman had sufficient rights, confirmed by a marriage contract, while, as often happens in the East, the bride was often still almost a girl - and this in general, not to mention the numerous conditional dynastic "child" marriages in royal families

restored by marcus
 This is a picture of Userhat, who lived in the reigns of Horemheb of Dynasty 18, as well as Ramses I and Seti I of Dynasty 19. He was the "First Prophet-priest of the Royal 'Ka'-spirit of King Thutmose I," since the earlier Dynasty 18 ruler was still being worshipped as a god. Here we see Userhat elaborately clothed wearing what appears to be a leopard skin over his white linen clothing. One can clearly see the leopard head, claws, and tail but the decoration of the cloth that is supposed to be a panther's skin is in different shapes and colors than would would expect in an actual example. Further, there are cartouches of Seti I the art of the cloth draped over his right arm. This would suggest that it was actually an imitation leopard skin rather a real one. This impressive image was copied from the tomb by Nina de Garis Davies.
