About the Book

English summary: In the course of the German-Egyptian archaeological and epigraphic fieldwork in Asyut/Middle Egypt from 2012 to 2014, a series of ceiling decorations were discovered in the grave of the ancient regional governor of the area, named Djefai-Hapi I (c. 1900 BC), whose arrangement, motifs, and monumentality offered a wholly new perspective on Egyptian design during the Middle Kingdom. As a consequence of considerable contamination, these paintings have generally not been well represented in the scholarly literature but, thanks to Egyptian restoration efforts, the paintings have undergone a successful partial restoration. In his book Ornaments in Movement, Jochem Kahl places considerable attention on these ceiling decorations and examines their meaning, the movement of individual motifs, as well as the broader context of ceiling-art design in Egypt and the Aegean world during from the Middle Kingdom, through Egyptian antiquity and up to London in the 19th century. An analysis of the color pigments that were used, an index of personal names as well as a table of colors and computer reconstructions offer an extensive overview of the ceiling decorations from the great transverse hall from Djefai-Hapi tomb. German description: Im Verlauf der deutsch-agyptischen archaologischen und epigrafischen Feldarbeiten in Assiut/Mittelagypten wurden in den Jahren 2012 bis 2014 im Grab des Regionalgouverneurs Djefai-Hapi I. (ca. 1900 v.Chr.) Deckenmalereien freigelegt, die in ihrer Motivwahl, ihrem Arrangement und in ihrer Monumentalitat neue Massstabe agyptischen Designs zur Zeit des Mittleren Reiches setzten. Infolge starker Verschmutzungen blieben diese Malereien allerdings in der modernen Forschung nahezu unbeachtet. In Zusammenarbeit mit agyptischen Restauratoren erfolgte eine partielle Reinigung der Malereien. Jochem Kahl stellt in seinem Band Ornamente in Bewegung die Deckenmalereien ausfuhrlich vor und untersucht die Bedeutung und den Transfer einzelner Motive sowie des gesamten Deckenmusters von Agypten und dem agaischen Raum wahrend des Mittleren Reiches uber die agyptische Spatzeit bis in das London des 19. Jahrhunderts. Eine Analyse der verwendeten Farbpigmente, ein Index der Personennamen sowie zahlreiche Farbtafeln und Computerrekonstruktionen geben einen umfassenden Uberblick uber die aussergewohnliche Deckendekoration der Grossen Querhalle.
