Bunch of Grapes

Maker Unknown
Egyptian, Classical, Ancient Near Eastern Art
Amarna artists often tried to create interior spaces that looked and felt like the outdoors. Many rooms in Akhenaten's palaces featured three-dimensional grape clusters hung high on the wall and grapevines painted on the ceiling. Such decorations created the illusion of sitting under a huge grape arbor.
