33. Enjoying life in Paradise
The Mortuary Chapel of Nakht (a scribe of the granaries at the middle of the 18th dynasty)
In the top of the picture Nekht is seen hunting birds among the reeds, into which he has penetrated his boat. His household are enjoying the sport with him. He is holding a decoy in one hand, and in the other, a boomerang. A charming figure of his daughter is seen as she points to the fish which her father has speared from a boat, and she turns her face fondly up to him. Below this is a representation of a vineyard and a wine-press. In the last row are representations of plucking poultry.
