Description from the seller
➜ This fragment is crafted in the Ancient Egyptian style and depicts a lively agricultural scene associated with grape harvesting and traditional grape stomping, an activity closely linked to early wine production in ancient Egypt.
The painted surface shows multiple human figures engaged in harvesting grapes from vines, collecting produce, and stomping grapes in a shallow vat—an iconography commonly found in New Kingdom tomb wall scenes celebrating abundance, labor, and ritual preparation for offerings and feasting. The warm yellow ground, red-brown figures, and vegetal motifs reflect classic Egyptian artistic conventions.
➜ Why You’ll Love It:
• Inspired by authentic Ancient Egyptian tomb scenes depicting grape harvesting and wine production
• Dynamic multi-figure composition showing grape picking and traditional grape stomping
• Rich painted details with natural wear that enhance historical character
• Strong visual storytelling despite its compact, fragment-like form
• Ideal for collectors, interior décor, or educational display
➜ Height: 9.5 cm
➜ Width: 15.5 cm
➜ Weight: 162 gram
➜ Object: Egyptian Plaque
➜ Material: Stone
➜ Origin: Egypt
