Tomba di Perneb

Old Kingdom
ca. 2381–2323 B.C.
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 100
Perneb era un funzionario di corte addetto alla vestizione e incoronazione del re. La sovrastruttura della sua tomba comprendeva una camera per le offerte decorata con pitture, a cui si accedeva da un cortile attraverso un vestibolo. All’interno della camera un vano stilizzato a forma di nicchia (la cosiddetta falsa porta) rappresentava un luogo di contatto simbolico con il defunto. Al Metropolitan si trovano non solo la camera per le offerte decorata con pitture, ma anche il cortile e una serie di stanze secondarie per le statue di Perneb, che formano un complesso sepolcrale unico tra le collezioni museali per la sua completezza.
