Detail from a much larger scene painted on the south wall in the tomb of Rekhmire at the Theban Necropolis located on the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor. Rekhmire was vizier, the highest civil official of Egypt, under kings Thutmose III and Amenhotep II during the mid 18th Dynasty.
We see here two standing carpenters finishing a small yellow wooden shrine. The one to the right works with an adze in his right hand, while the one to the left finishes attaching ebony 'Djed' and 'Tyet' amulets. These amulets are being sculpted by the two seated men below.
