Europe Day 35 - Part Three

Still at the British Museum!

In Egypt now :D
This is Nebamun. He is hunting.

More Egypt!

This is his garden.

And his feast. I like the detail of the stomach wrinkles on that dancer.

They don’t know who this is. Just a rich young woman I guess.

Cleopatra!

This is the painting under the mummy, I think it was the lid.

She was so tiny!

I thought this portrait was quite striking, it’s from 100-200.

Amulets, I’m pretty keen on this design.

These are all bits of parchment, but I can’t remember if they came from the same… scroll.

This scroll is funerary texts though.

I took too many pictures, more to come!
