The Feast of Nebamun

Reproduction of a feasting scene from the 18th Dynasty tomb chapel of Nebamun in Thebes.

The Feast of Nebamun

The plastered walls of the scribe's tomb were richly and skilfully decorated with lively fresco paintings, depicting idealised views of Nebamun’s life and activities. An entire wall shows a banquet in his honour. Naked serving girls and servants wait on his friends, colleagues and relatives, who are entertained by musicians and dancers.
