The sarcophagi inhabitants’ actual names are unknown, but these “chantresses of Amun” served a god whose cult ran strong even when Egypt was in turmoil.

🌸 As we head full-on into Spring in the northern hemisphere (despite what the weather outside might be telling me), it makes me think of these lotus flowers from ancient Egypt that I photographed for Manchester Museum's 'To Have and To Heal' project in 2021.

The flowers were found on the chest of a 22nd Dynasty woman called Perenbast, a singer of the god Amun in ancient Thebes.
