The Met x Eichholtz introduces the Wall Art Inlay Menes, a pair of framed panels inspired by ancient Egypt’s symbolic artistry and architectural heritage. The design draws from Memphis, the kingdom’s first capital and spiritual center, celebrating its lasting cultural impact.

Each panel features a stylized scarab set within a clean, balanced composition. Presented against a neutral ground, the motif stands out with clarity and restraint—offering a wall accent that connects historic symbolism with modern design sensibilities.

Historic Provenance
Named for Pharaoh Menes, founder of Memphis, these works reference the scarab—an emblem of renewal and protection often seen in temples and royal artifacts. This set reflects that tradition through contemporary craftsmanship, blending timeless meaning with a refined aesthetic.
