Two Female Dancers. Detail from a Banquet scene: fragment of wall painting from the tomb of Nebamun (no. 3). Thebes, Egypt. 18th Dynasty, around 1350 BCE. Musicians and dancers entertain the guests, who are dressed in typical festive clothing of the period, with characteristic yellow incorporated into their white robes, and the women wearing very heavy wigs. The musicians are perhaps the most striking of all. They are shown frontally rather than in profile, a break in the usual convention of ancient Egyptian art. 88 x 119. cm. Inv. 37981(&Others).
