Ancient Egyptian wall art tomb paintings, Tomb of Sobekhotep Thebes, Circa 1350BC, 18th Dynasty. British Museum EA922. Part of tomb wall: showing Nubians bringing tribute from the south to Pharaoh. The figure at the front carries interlocking gold rings over one arm; the man behing bears ebony logs on his shoulder and a giraffe's tail in one hand. The third figure carries a leopard skin and a basket full of chunks of red jasper; a monkey perches behind his head. All three wear earrings. Reign of Thutmose IV. Wall painting from an Egyptian tomb showing the presentation of African products to the pharaoh. The fragment formed part of a large scene in which Africans and people from Western Asia are shown presenting products of their land to the Egyptian king. The men of the south are painted brown or black, and wear large earrings and animal skin kilts. Their offerings include gold nuggets and rings, ebony logs, giraffe tails and a leopard skin. The last figure carries a tray of reddish objects, probably pieces of red jasper.
