Rekhmire was a vizier
in the reigns of Thutmose
III and Amenhotep
II. His tomb is one of the largest and is indeed very rich
in painting. The tomb is T-shaped.
The reliefs have different scenes of foreign tributes brought
to Egypt including animals like giraffes, cattle, monkeys and
baboons; goods like gold, jars and chariots. Rekhmire is shown
doing his job as a judge and collecting treasury. Daily life
scenes like hunting, grape harvesting and winemaking are represented.
Other scenes show the work of handscraftmen. Other reliefs illustrate
the funerary procession and a banquet scene. |
