Wall Fragment from the Tomb of Amenemhet and His Wife Hemet, Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 12 (c. 1991 -1784 B.C.) is displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago to show a depiction that will be a remembrance of the two for their afterlife. This image has been caved on to limestone and painted with a pigment of some sort. The patron of this wall fragment would be Amenemhet and his wife, originally this would be located for recognition and remembrance, but would most likely be placed in a tomb with their belongings, and later be displayed to show the preset and his wife as a memorial. This does not show an every day life style, but instead an afterlife. His wife and him are seen in a typical Egyptian stance. We see their two left feet, their hips facing forward, but their chest turned, and a side profile of both of their faces. His wife is pigmented much lighter than him, because she is a female and thats how women were depicted. It shows she was a house wife, and did not do hard labor. She is decorated in white dress, with what looks like an exposed breast. Her eyes are painted with special paint and she looks like a typical Egyptian, but flawless because of her status. Amenemhet himself is much darker. He is seen in a typical kilt with a design, because the fabric must have been felt or something much nicer than normal material. Linen would offer them a comfortable wear for the afterlife. We see the two of them stand before an alter, or table of offerings. Since he is preset, the gifts or dues were given to him as a sign of giving gifts to the gods. Hieroglyphs are carved and represent deceased family and offering of prayer. These hieroglyphs represent a life of the two, which is good for their remembrance. Some of these hieroglyphs include beer, bread, vegetables, meat, and other goods. It shows that these two were highly respected and seen at high status in Egypt.The purity of their looks, makes them flawless and typical. Their style which is iconic makes them a higher status as well. Both of their bodies don't have much definition, which is what makes the image more focused on the meaning of the hieroglyphs around them and their offerings, rather than their looks. By focusing on this, status of priest and his wife in Egypt is more important than most things.
