This painting from his tomb shows how he wanted his garden to be in the afterlife. The painting is similar to the real gardens of wealthy Egyptians at this time – it has a pool full of birds and fish, borders of flowers and rows of fruit trees. The dates on the trees are even shown with different degrees of ripeness! On the right a goddess is leaning out of a tree to offer fruit and drinks to Nebamun (who is now lost from this fragment). Nebamun’s tomb would have been filled with idealised images like this, reflecting how the affluent from this time wanted to be remembered.
