Nebamun Tomb Paintings Postcard Pack
Exclusive to the British Museum, a pack of ten postcards featuring painted details from an ancient Egyptian tomb.
Dating back to about 1350 BC, these are wall paintings from the tomb chapel of a wealthy Egyptian official called Nebamun.
The tomb chapel was a place for people to come and commemorate Nebamun and his wife after his death with prayers and offerings. Nebamun himself was buried somewhere beneath the floor of the innermost room of the tomb chapel in a hidden burial chamber.
The beautiful paintings, which decorated the walls, not only showed how Nebamun wanted his life to be remembered, but also how he wanted his life to be in the afterlife.
An ideal gift for a lover of ancient history.
