A tomb painting that shows craftsmen in the workshop of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III. A scribe uses a bronze bull’s head to weigh rings of gold. To his right, artisans create djed pillars, which signify endurance and stability. Such pillars were covered with inscriptions before being placed in a shrine or buried with the dead. Below, other craftsmen create an inlaid box, a vase, and a sphinx. To their left, two men present finished goods for inspection, including a djed pillar and a round collar. This painting is from the tomb of Nebamun at Thebes and dates to circa 1400 B.C.E.
