Luxor, Egypt: Tombs of the Nobles

Sennofer was the mayor of Thebes in the 15th century BCE, during the reign of Amenophis 2. This is a very colourful tomb, with large parts in excellent condition.
Sennofer's tomb is often called the "Tomb of Vines", from the ceiling which is full of images of grapes and vines.
But as with most other tombs, towards the end, the wall paintings shift from scenes from everyday life into matters concerning death and the afterlife. Sennofer's funerary procession, his voyage to Abydos and his unification with Anubis.
