Egyptian tomb scene, illustration. This scene shows the casting of metal on the walls of the painted tomb chapel of Vizier Rekhmire, the highest official in the government of the pharaohs Thutmose III and Amenhotep II. It dates from the New Kingdom (Dynasty 18), in around 1479-1400 BC. This tomb is in Thebes, Upper Egypt. This illustration (tempera on paper) was produced in 1927 by Egyptologist Nina de Garis Davies (1881-1965) on an expedition for the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
