Titre: Egyptian tomb scene, illustration
Légende: Voir la traduction automatique
Egyptian tomb scene, illustration. This scene shows a hunting scene for fish and fowl on the Nile, as depicted on the walls of the tomb of Menna. It dates from the New Kingdom (Dynasty 18), during the reign of Thutmose IV to Amenhotep III, in around 1400-1352 BC. This tomb is in Thebes, Upper Egypt. At left, Menna holds decoy birds in one hand and raises a throwstick above his head with the other. On the right, he uses a long spear to catch two large fish, most likely Tilapia. In both vignettes, he is poised on the deck of a papyrus skiff, into which members of his family (unnamed here, but probably his wife and several of his children) have crowded. Wildlife includes birds, fish and a crocodile. Symbols of fertility include lotuses. Symbolically, Menna helps to guarantee daily cycles of creation and his own regeneration and rebirth. This illustration (tempera on paper) was produced in 1924 by Egyptologist Nina de Garis Davies (1881-1965) on an expedition for the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
