The Family
About this space
The largest and summary mural at the far end depicts The Family. In a wooded valley bounded by high mountains figures are gathered at the mouth of a cave. At the center is the figure of the head of the household, who is being welcomed home by his family after a day spent hunting. His wife holds out their infant son and their young daughter clings to him. On the left his aged father lays aside a scroll he has been reading and on the right the seated figure of his mother clasps the head of her staff while an older daughter leans against a tree.
