The purpose of tomb paintings in ancient Egypt was primarily **to provide the buried person with the objects shown**. These paintings were intended to ensure that the deceased had access to these items and experiences in the afterlife. While they also served decorative purposes and could tell aspects of the person's life story, their main function was to offer sustenance and companionship in the next life.
