EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the tomb of Nakht, an ancient Egyptian nobleman who lived around 1390 BC. The wall painting, dating back to the 18th Dynasty of Egypt, offers a glimpse into the intricate process of meat processing in that era. The scene depicts workers diligently engaged in their daily routine as they handle and prepare various birds for consumption. With vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this polychrome mural transports us back in time to witness an essential aspect of ancient Egyptian life. Amphorae vessels are scattered throughout the painting, highlighting their crucial role in storing and transporting goods during mercantile activities. This snapshot of social history provides valuable insights into not only work practices but also everyday life during this period. As we observe closely, we can see carcasses hanging while others are being plucked by skilled butchers. Ducks and other fowl dominate the composition, emphasizing their significance as sources of food for the people at that time. This funerary artwork serves as a testament to Nakht's status and his connection with animals and agriculture. It reminds us of how vital livestock farming was for sustenance in ancient Egypt. Through this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images, we gain a deeper appreciation for the rich cultural heritage left behind by our ancestors.
