Sandal Maker, Tomb of Rekhmire

The available records confirm its institutional location and specific cataloging but do not provide details regarding past public exhibitions or loan history.

The wall painting Sandal Maker in the Tomb of Rekhmire (TT 100) at Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, Theban Necropolis, was created by Nina M. Davies in 1479 BCE during the early 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom period. Commissioned to document the tomb’s decorative program, Davies reproduced scenes from the tomb’s original painted reliefs, including this depiction of a sandal maker at work. The facsimile was later acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art (accession no. 33.8.3), where it remains in the museum’s collection.

The original tomb itself dates to the reign of Thutmose III or Amenhotep II, and the scene’s replication by Davies preserves a record of the tomb’s decoration prior to natural deterioration.

The facsimile painting titled 'Sandal Maker,' created by Nina M. Davies to document leatherworking scenes from the Tomb of Rekhmire (TT 100), is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The work carries the accession number 33.8.3 within the museum's inventory. While the piece depicts ancient Egyptian craftsmanship dating to approximately 1479 BCE, the facsimile itself serves as a modern record of these reliefs.
