埃及艺术,我们纳入pinball game table comes from this work on paper from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, titled "Ramesses III and Prince Amenherkhepeshef before Hathor." It's actually somewhat unusual in that it is not an ancient Egyptian art work, but rather a copy made byNina de Garis Davies, a Greek-born "Egyptologist" who - along with her husband, Norman de Garis Davies, made illustrations and copies of ancient Egyptian art in the early 20th Century. This drawing copied a scene in the tomb of Prince Amenherkhepeshef in the Valley of the Queens, and shows the prince following his father, Ramesses III, who is led by the goddess Hathor. You can learn more about this atthe Met's websiteand is reproduced here courtesy of theiropen access policy.
One may ask why focus on a copy instead of an original? The topic of "Egyptologists" is not one that we're well-versed in, but it certainly makes sense in that they were respectfully copying rather than removing art that was found within the actual tomb of Prince Amenherkhepeshef. In some ways, making these copies allowed for the work to be seen in places (such as the Met!) where it couldn't be seen otherwise.
