Ancient Egyptian wall art tomb painting: Nebamun’s garden of the west, Tomb of Nebamun Thebes, Circa 1350BC, 18th Dynasty. British Museum EA37983. Fragment of a polychrome tomb-painting representing the pool in Nebamun's estate garden: date-palms, sycomores and mandrakes hedge the pool which teems with fish and fowl; the goddess of the sycomore, surrounded by her produce, is shown in the top right-hand corner. Nebamun’s garden in the afterlife is like the earthly gardens of the wealthy in ancient Egypt. The pool is full of birds and fish, and surrounded by borders of flowers and rows of trees. The fruit trees include sycomore-figs, date-palms and dom-palms – the dates are shown with different degrees of ripeness. On the right of the painting, the goddess Nut leans out of a tree and offers sycomore-figs to Nebamun (now lost). On the left of the pool a sycomore-fig tree speaks and greets Nebamun as the owner of the garden, her words are recorded in the hieroglyphs. The goddess in the tree offers sycomore-figs and jars of wine or beer. The artists accidentally painted her skin red at first but then repainted it yellow, the correct colour for a goddess’ skin. The pool is shown from above, with three rows of trees arranged around its edges. The waves of the pool were painted with a darker blue pigment; much of this has been lost, like the green on the trees and bushes. Painted plaster. Height: 64 cm Width: 73 cem.
