This painted funerary bed along with its sarcophagus belonged to a noble family. The bedposts, the fabric adorned with sculpted flowers and the pillows are sculpted in the stone. Once the ground water is pumped, the paintings, protected from the light and oxygen for two thousand years, appear in all their splendor. The archeologist traces the patterns.
