Die Wandreliefs des Zweiten Lichthofs im Grab des Monthemhat (TT 34). Versuch einer zeichnerischen Rekonstruktion.

在从第25王朝到第26王朝过渡的几十年里，Monthemhat是“陛下的眼睛和耳朵”，正如他向我们保证的那样，他能够为自己选择最好的宫殿工匠。他的葬礼纪念碑（TT 34）的装饰在底比斯的Asasif中延伸了三层，因此具有最高的质量。这一点尤其适用于所谓的第二大院。它的墙壁长12米，宽16米，上面覆盖着日常生活和墓主及其家人周围的场景，用高架和丰富的浮雕描绘。今天，只有20%的辉煌被保存在原地，数百个小碎片躺在地上，其他的散落在坟墓里；许多碎片被抢劫并卖到国外。这个体量是第一次尝试重建这个墙面装饰的设计。这一时期艺术的古典性倾向，以古王国墓葬的可比内容为导向，对我们有帮助，与附近的伊比墓（TT 36）进行比较的可能性也有帮助。在我们眼前呈现出一幅生动的全景，那就是蒙塞哈特的财富，这是他的家仆们的产物，他们在花园和田野里，在水边或牧场上辛勤地工作。我们看到满载的船只从南方返回，看到金匠、雕刻家、造船者、马车制造者的活动，看到在墓主的作坊里生产凉鞋、卡奥皮罐子和乌什布蒂斯。我们观察葡萄农、农民、渔牧民的劳动。最后，我们参加Monthemhat的娱乐活动，比如棋盘游戏、音乐和舞蹈，也可以在动画纸莎草沼泽中用投掷棒或长矛狩猎鸟和鱼。

Monthemhat, "eye and ear of his Majesty" in the decades of transition from the 25th to the 26th dynasty, was able, as he assures us, to select the best of the palace workmen for himself. The decoration of his funeral monument (TT 34), extending over three levels in the Asasif of Thebes, was accordingly of the highest quality. This applies especially to the so-called Second Courtyard. Its walls, 12 m long and 16 m wide, were covered with scenes of 'daily life and the surroundings of the tomb owner and his family, depicted in elevated and richly painted relief. Today only 20 % of this splendour is conserved in situ, with hundreds of tiny broken fragments lying on the ground, others scattered all over the tomb; many fragments were robbed and sold abroad. This volume is the first attempt to reconstruct the design of this wall decoration. The archaistic tendency in the art of this period, orienting itself by comparable contents of Old Kingdom tombs^ helped us here, as did also the possibilities of comparison with the nearby tomb of Ibi (TT 36). Before our eyes there arises a vivid panorama of Monthemhat's wealth, the product of his domestics, who are working industriously in garden and field, beside the water or in the pasture. We observe the return of the heavily loaded ships coming from the South, the activities of gold-smiths, sculptors, ship-builders, carriage-builders, and the production of sandals, cahopic jars and ushebtis in the workshops of the tomb-owner. We observe the work of the vintagers, peasants, fisher- and herdsmen. And finally, we participate in Monthemhat's recreational activities, such as board games, music and dance, also in the hunting of bird and fish by the throw-stick or the spear in the animated papyrus-marshes.
