The world of funerary
decorations. Reproduction of a tomb
The world of funerary decorations is one
of the most significant aspects of this culture, and there
still exist many examples today. We know that the deceased
were interred beneath the houses, in complex, stone chambers,
or beneath the ground they habitually used while alive. Differences
are observed, as per the individual’s social status,
both with respect to construction and funerary furnishings.
The latter may consist of a plate for everyday use, now serving
as a funerary piece, or of a set of pieces especially made
for the occasion, where the individual may appear surrounded
by relatives and prestige objects, such as jade, ceramics
in the codex style, foodstuffs, etc.
In the tomb’s reproduction we have combined authentic
pieces with falsifications.
