Tomb of Rekhmire

All the representations in this tomb show rhythm. Workers bend to mix mortar or squat to carve a statue. A man raises a bucket to his colleague’s shoulder. Another is engrossed in carpentry. The elegant ladies of Rekhmire’s household prepare for a social function with young female attendants arranging their hair, anointing their limbs or bringing them jewellery.
