Grant Description

To support the restoration of the surviving painted wall reliefs in the Temple of Mut. The temple was built by the Kushite pharoah Taharqa in 690-670 B.C.

The paintings are on the interior chamber walls, the only part of the temple that remains in good condition because it was carved out of the living rock.
