The scene depicted is none other than the awe-inspiring creation myth, featuring the sky-goddess Nut and the god of earth, Geb. Standing in full length, Nut is resplendent as she stretches across the heavens adorned with countless stars that illuminate her divine presence. This replica from a tomb at Thebes in the Valley of Kings perfectly captures the strength and power associated with these ancient deities.
