Detail of the large scene in relief from the tomb of Ramose (Born of Ra), vizier of the Egyptian king Amenophis III, 18th Dynasty, (around 1370 BC), father of Akhnaton. On this stele we see Ramose and his wife, she tenderly holding him by the shoulder, carrying lotus flowers, linked to immortality, and their faces lit up with a sweet, faraway smile. They wear fine, transparent linen clothes, and their hairstyles were very important. On the original limestone stele, only the colour of the eyes and hairstyles was marked.
