Nakhtamun's Funeral Procession, Tomb of Nakhtamun

The painting known as Nakhtamun's Funeral Procession originates from the Theban tomb TT341, where an ancient Egyptian wall scene depicting a funeral procession was recorded. In the early 20th century the American artist Nina M. Davies produced a hand‑drawn facsimile of this scene, signing the work as its creator. Davies’ replica, dated to the mid‑1920s but representing a composition from around –1250 BCE, was later acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art (accession 33.8.20) and remains in its collection. The piece is classified as a painting and is catalogued under the tomb’s original funerary context.
