ably that of the tomb. All around it, the mourning women are set in two rows, making the conventional gesture of beating their foreheads in sorrow. All of them have their hair tied back by a ribbon as a token of mourning.\par

esÆ profiles and the liveliness of their gestures are signs that the influence of Amarna art persisted in this work dating from the reign of Tutankhamen.\par
