Ancient Egyptian wall art tomb paintings, Tomb of Nebamun Thebes, Circa 1350BC, 18th Dynasty. British Museum EA37976. Painting from the tomb chapel of Nebamen: fragment of polychrome tomb-painting divided into two registers. In the upper register a herd of cattle is brought to Nebamen; in front of the cattle the herdsmen bow down to a standing scribe who records the produce. The vertical hieroglyphic caption is damaged, and only a few-phrases can be read. In the lower register a man drives cattle towards some seated scribes. Two horizontal registers of hieroglyphs survive above. The alternating colours and patterns of cattle create a superb sense of animal movement. The artists have omitted some of the cattle’s legs to preserve the clarity of the design. The herdsman is telling the farmer in front of him in the queue: ‘Come on! Get away! Don’t speak in the presence of the praised one! He detests people talking . . . Pass on in quiet and in order . . . He knows all affairs, does the scribe and counter of grain of [Amun], Neb[amun]’. Painted Plaster. Height: 58.50 cm: Width: 97 cm. On display (G61/dc2/sB) (G61/dc2/sB)
