Examples of ancient Egyptian art

The Narmer Palette

a shield-shaped slab of gray stone 64 centimeters long, is in the shape of a cosmetic palette. It would have been used for mixing make-up for the royal family.

Seated Scribe

This painted limestone sculpture represents a man in a seated position, presumably a scribe. In ancient Egypt scribes were the most educated people, having to study law, mathematics, religion as well as reading and writing.

Nebamun hunting birds

Here we see Pharaoh Nebamun hunting wild animals. In the picture we also see his wife and daughter watching him provide for the family.

Coffin of Tutankhamon

Tutankhamon died at the very young age of 18. His coffin was much more elaborate than most pharaohs’ before him. It was found in 1922 by a British archaeologist.

Menkaure and Queen Khamerernebty

This is a good example of sculpture from the Old Kingdom Style in Egypt. The sculptor would have started with a solid stone square and then chiseled and sanded it to get a smooth texture.

Bust of Nefertiti

This is a good example of sculpture from the New Kingdom Style in Egypt. Notice how the features look more real than the old kingdom statues.
