This well preserved painting of a beautiful woman π€ππππ named Tjepu is from the 18th Dynasty (rule of Amenhotep III π³π§π ) and was originally found in the tomb ππ«ππ of her son π . Tjepu is seen in lavish 18th Dynasty style clothing – including a wig, lots of jewelry and a linen π± dress.
When creating tomb ππ«ππ art, Egyptian ππππ artists did not βrealisticallyβ depict how people actually looked. Instead, they showed people as being eternally youthful. Basically, the artists made people look their best so they could be at their best in the afterlife πΌπΏππ! While Tjepu would have been around 40 ππππ years old at the time that this painting was completed, she was definitely not shown as being 40 ππππ.
