Authentic Reproductions of Ancient Egyptian Art by Natalie Watson
The Offering Table of Watetkhethor
Reproduction of a wall painting in the tomb of Watetkhethor, daughter of king Teti, dating to Dynasty 6 (around 2290 BC).
It shows Watetkhethor seated in front of a table of offerings, whilst servants bring her legs of meat and birds to add to her piles of bread and gifts of flowers. The offering scene was the most important piece of art in an Ancient Egyptian tomb, as it provided the spells necessary for the deceased to continue eating and drinking in the afterlife.
