A garden pool: fragment of wall painting from the tomb of Nebamun (no. 9). Thebes, Egypt. 18th Dynasty, around 1350 BCE. The pool is shown full of birds, lotus flowers and tilapia fish, while papyrus grows along the edge. Around the pool are palms, dom-palms, sycomore fig, mandrakes, and other bushes. In one corner is a tree in which the tree-goddess Hathor presents offerings to whoever was at the right of the scene, most likely Nebamun and Hatshepsut, his wife. H. 64 cm. (max.). Inv. 37983.
