VTG Reprint Ancient Egypt Harvest Scene Wall Painting Tomb of Menna Gold Framed

The original is on a wall in Thebes in the tomb of Menna, from the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom in Egypt. Nina M. Davies replicated the artwork circa 1936. The piece depicts "farmers collecting cereal ears in baskets, cereals are being threshed, and then winnowed with special winnowing fans. During winnowing, the cereals are thrown in the air and the wind carries away the straw." (From Google Arts & Culture). The piece has been matted and the gold gilt frame has some gilding loss but does not detract from the art. Under glass with new backing and wire - ready to hang, clean. Museum quality replica - may be from The British Musem in London., England.
