Not on view

The new year was a time of renewal, and many New Year gifts depicted in New Kingdom tombs feature new gear for the king, such as items of warfare. The objects here, copied from the tomb of Qenamun, include a bow, whip, dagger (top), shirt of chain mail (bottom left), and two quivers (bottom right).
