Not on view

This facsimile is a reproduction of the apse painting in Tomb 25 at Bagawat. Similar decoration adorned tombs in Alexandria, Egypt. Representing the way in which the people of Kharga participated in the visual culture of the late Roman Empire, the geometric decoration resembles textile and mosaic patterns found throughout the Mediterranean.
