Tomb Art

Tomb art refers to the decorative and symbolic artwork created for burial sites, primarily in ancient civilizations. It served to honor the deceased, depict their life and achievements, and ensure a successful journey to the afterlife. This art can include carvings, paintings, sculptures, and inscriptions that often feature gods, rituals, and scenes from daily life. Tomb art not only offers insights into the cultural beliefs, social status, and traditions of past societies but also functions as a form of visual storytelling meant to preserve the memory of the individual.
