Ancient Egyptian Furniture
- 2 years ago
Egyptian furniture provides almost the only surviving examples of genuine antique furniture. Egyptians believed that possessions could still be used in the afterlife, and furniture items were buried with the dead in sealed tombs. In the hot, dry climate of Egypt, many items have been preserved through the centuries to become museum pieces fascinating and valuable today.
The reconstructions of objects found in the tomb of Queen Hetepheres revealed an elaborate four-poster bed, a chair transportation, and other items, including many boxes. Tutankhamun's tomb contained objects designed specifically for the burial place: his funeral bed, for example, is carved in the shape of Ammit, the eater of death, a god with the head of a crocodile, the body of a leopard and the hindquarters of a hippopotamus.
