[EGYPT 29388] 'Ceiling in Nefersekheru's tomb at Luxor.' The ceiling of Nefersekheru's tomb has been decorated with different geometric patterns. Here we see a design with a checkerboard of white and yellow squares which contain rosettes. It is probably an imitation of the colourful, woven matting that Egyptians used to decorate their houses. Nefersekheru was a "Deputy administrator of the treasury" and a "Scribe of the divine offering of all the gods" during the reign of Ramses II. His tomb (TT 296) can be found in the Necropolis of El-Khoka on the Westbank at Luxor. It is one of the socalled "Tombs of the Nobles". Photo Mick Palarczyk and Paul Smit.
