Description
Summary:The three-dimensional funerary models housed in burial chambers of the late Old Kingdom to the end of the Middle Kingdom display a number of similarities with the so-called scenes of daily life on tomb-chapel walls. A comparison of the two media can help to classify otherwise unidentifiable artworks.

This article examines these similarities in order to determine if the model should rightly be understood as a representation of this theme. http://dx.doi.org/10.5913/jarce.55.2019.a001
