This print captures a remarkable scene from ancient Egypt, specifically the Relief/Carving found in the Tomb of Merereuka within the Mastaba of Merereuka. Dating back to the 6th Dynasty in Saqqara, this artwork offers a glimpse into an intriguing moment in history. In this image, village elders are depicted being confronted by clerks as they reluctantly admit their faulty tax returns. The composition skillfully portrays the tension and unease among these elders as they face the consequences of their actions. The intricate details of the wall carving bring life to each character's expressions and body language, allowing us to empathize with their predicament. It is evident that these individuals are grappling with a sense of guilt and apprehension. Photographer Mary Jelliffe has masterfully captured this significant piece of art, preserving its historical value for generations to come.
