Artists covered palace walls with layers of plaster on which they painted idyllic scenes of palace activities and life along the Nile. This detail shows lotus buds and flowers; it may represent the edge of a pool in a palace garden. Caption: Palace Painting, ca. 1352–1336 B.C.E.. Mud, pigment, 15 3/4 x 25 1/2 x 1 1/2 in.
