Description
This facsimile (A.D. 1916; original ca. 1390–1349 B.C.) shows part of a large banquet scene. On the right, the largest figure depicts the deceased, the sculptor Nebamun, with his immediate family members, while other attendees are featured in smaller sizes to the left. Standing before him is a female figure—Henutnefret, his wife or sister—who hands him a bowl of wine with the words "Drink and make a happy day!" Attendees often consumed an excessive amount of alcohol during these celebrations. Original from Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, el-Khokha, Tomb of Nebamun and Ipuky.
