Model of a Garden

The model shows the facade of a house with a portico, or covered entrance, that is supported by two rows of four columns in the form of bound lotus flowers and stems. The well-preserved colors of these columns range from white and yellow to blue, while the capitals are painted in green and red.

In front of the portico, there is a rectangular lake painted blue, surrounded on three sides by sycamore trees with abundant leaves and fruits, which are similar to figs.

Middle Kingdom, 12th Dynasty, ca. 1981-1975 BC. From the Tomb of Meketre (TT280), Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, West Thebes. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 46721
