About the Artwork
Reproduction of a painting from the Tomb of Userhat, a wab-priest in the mortuary cult of Thutmosis I, dating to Dynasty 19.
The deceased Userhat meets Nut, the goddess of the sycamore tree. He sits with his wife and mother sit in the shade of a colourful tree and is receiving the water Nut is pouring for them in three golden vessels. Before them is a table laden with offerings of fruit, vegetables and flowers, whilst their souls in the form of Ba-birds fly above their heads and stand on a T-shaped pool.
