Funerary Stele of Nit-Ptah

 The stela depicts four members of the same family: two males alternating with two females to create a pleasing chromatic contrast as a result of the different colors of their skins. Men were painted in ochre and women in light cream wash.

Middle Kingdom, ca. 2050-1710 BC. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo.
