Tomba asked in Tigrane

Detail of the central niche. The deceased lies on a bed protected by two female figures, one of whom is represented with wings. Behind them are pedestals on which hawks rest. The mummy is wrapped in bandages in the style of the Roman period. Under the head there is a headrest. Above the mummy is a winged sun disk. The tomb found near Tigrana Pasha Street in Alexandria dates from the Hadrianic period and combines Egyptian and classical elements: the wall paintings show funerary motifs from the Pharaonic period mixed with Greek symbols and rendered in the Alexandrian Hellenistic style.
