Office^The Met Store Nakht’s Wife Bookmark

$17.6

From 1907 to 1937, the Graphic Section of the Egyptian Expedition of The Metropolitan Museum of Art made precise colored copies of decorations found in tombs in western Thebes, across the Nile from modern Luxor. Among them is one depicting Nakht, an 18th Dynasty official, and his wife. Our bookmark is based on this facsimile, made in 1909–10 by Norman de Garis Davies (British, 1865–1941) from a wall painting in the Tomb of Nakht (ca. 1410–1370 BCE).
