TT6, the tomb of Neferhotep  and his son, Nebnefer

South wall

This wall is divided into two registers, but possibly containing similar scenes, the lower one is almost lost. In the upper one Neferhotep and his wife, Iyemuau, are offering to the goddess Anuket and Horus son-of-Isis, they are accompanied by their children and grandchildren  Horus is in the form of a falcon wearing the Double Crown, with a flagellum stuck in his back, whilst at his feet rises a cobra wearing the white crown. Behind Horus, two wings spread around the solar disk which are appropriate to Horus Behedet (also known as Behedety), who was a god of the midday sun in the Delta, but would be quickly assimilated with Horus of Edfu.
