The first piece I have chosen is the Judgement of Hunefer which is one of many scrolls with spells and prayers on how to secure a happy afterlife. This is essentially a depiction of a judgment day after someone’s death. The next is Khafre Enthroned which portrays Khafre as an enthroned divine ruler with a perfect body. The pharaohs and rulers of this day were supposed to be depicted as perfect because to be in their position was considered god like and no imperfect man would be fit to take that position. The formal pose creates a sense of eternal stillness which is fitting for the timeless afterlife the Egyptians promised. The next piece is Sculptors at work which depicts sculptors polishing a huge, seated portrait statue of the king. This piece was found in the main hall of the funerary chapel of Rekmire, Thebes. The next piece is The Tomb of Khnumhotep II which is a cave cut out of the side of a cliff holding nonroyal tombs and has an expansive burial chamber past the main hall. The next piece is The Tomb of Nebamun which portrays musicians and dancers. This representation of entertainment at a funeral banquet is strange however the artist experimented with frontal views of faces and bodies, this is relaxed art as the Old Kingdom had very strict rules of representation. The final piece is the Innermost Coffin of Tutankhamen which is one of the reason why this boy pharaoh has such a claim to fame today. The burial of his body consisted of 3 nesting doll like encasements, the inner most incasement was made of gold.
