Reproduction of an Egyptian relief depicting a young woman carrying lotuses. The original painting comes from the tomb of Menna, a scribe and crop inspector, at the end of the reign of Thutmose IV and the beginning of the reign of Amenophis III (Thebes-Luxor, 18th Dynasty, 14th century BC). The tomb contains domestic scenes, such as this one of a young woman, probably the daughter of the deceased, picking lotuses.
