TT181, the tomb of Nebamon and Ipuky .

The catafalque rests on a small scale barque, of which even its rear oar can be seen. This in turn is placed on the sledge. Standing at the side of the sledge is a mourner, an unusual image for the time, although she is probably the same person found at its side on the barge. Her dress is greyish in colour because of the dust which she scatters over her head, and which can be seen falling over her upper arm (see is-110-detail).
...

At the front and rear can be seen very small images of the goddesses Nephthys and Isis, who watch over the deceased, just as they watched over their brother Osiris (see line drawing for finer detail). At this time period their efficiency was in doubt, certainly during this part of the deceased's journey into the afterlife. Thus two of the deceased daughters, one at the front (see image opposite) and one at the rear support the catafalque during its rough journey. In front, turned towards her father, is Mutneferet, taking the part of Nephthys, and probably in a moaning voice says: "Fare you well! Fare you well! Fare you well, my father." The other daughter stands behind a male figure, bent and showering himself with dust and identified as: "His son, the sculptor of the Sacred Place, Amenemhat"; the "Amen" part of his name having escaped the vigilance of the Atonists. He has obviously taken up his father's profession. Immediately behind him, leaning against the catafalque, is the wife of Ipuky, Henutneferet, whose name has fortunately been preserved. She presumably takes the place of Isis, because, like the one at the front, she helps to steady the load. Then come two unidentified ladies (their upper bodies now lost) the first also has her arms raised as if to steady the load, but she isn't actually close enough, so perhaps she has her arms raised in supplication. The female behind her again scatters dust over her head. Finally come four other relatives, all holding canes, indicating their function. These together with the four in the register above (which by rights should total nine) represent the "nine companions" who by custom bring up the rear of the procession.

The tomb of Samut, aka Kyky

The tomb of Samut, aka Kyky 

west wall

The tomb of Samut, aka Kyky

This measures 2.71m in length.

This is produced as three superimposed registers, each of them being surmounted by a black band representing the hieroglyph (pet, the sky).

1) - At the extreme left, is the end of the first text, whose beginning is located on the east and south walls. It ends in front of its recipient, the goddess Mut.

2) - The goddess is seated under a richly decorated kiosk. (view gm_04) At the top of the roof is a frieze of cobra adorned with solar discs, which rests a coving, at the lower edge of which is a "traditional frieze" formed of a succession of coloured rectangles.

osirisnet.net

From the coving hangs a red and black banner. The small structure is supported by fine wooden papyriform columns, to which red ribbons are attached, flowing outwards. The umbels of papyrus are surmounted by a representation of the goddess Hathor: a woman's head with ears of a cow, her wig is crowned by the goddess's characteristic sistrum. A floral garland is stretched between the columns.

Mut is seated on the ancient square-shaped chair with a small backrest. She wears a blue-green skin-tight dress with two shoulder straps. She has bracelets on her wrists and arms, and a broad necklace around her neck.

On top of her long black hair she wears a headdress in the form of a vulture, which is her emblem. This is surmounted by the royal Double Crown, which shows pictorially the facts which Kyky declares (and which is inscribed in front of her): Mut is Mistress of the Heavens and Queen of the Gods.

In her hands, the goddess holds a papyriform sceptre, which is not specific to her, and an ankh-sign.

3) - To the right of the previous scene is a new independent scene where Kyky is paying homage to Amon-Ra (see sh-22). The two scenes are separated artistically by a column of text : "Justified by the Great God, the Osiris, the royal scribe, the chief accountant of the cattle of all gods of Thebes, Samut, justified in peace."

Coin of Diocletian, minted in Alexandria

Coin of Diocletian, minted in Alexandria
Coin with depictions of, on one side, the head of the emperor Diocletian, and, on the other, a standing bearded god with an indistinct attribute, perhaps the horn of plenty. The reign of Diocletian marks a turning-point in the history of the Empire, and in Egypt the end of support for Pharaonic traditions such as the construction of temples in Egyptian style with hieroglyphic inscription. Diocletian was one of the few Roman Emperors t...o visit Egypt, overhauling military and civilian government. He persecuted the Christian community with such ferocity that the Coptic Church dates its years from his accession, as the 'Era of Martyrs'.

Papyrus Leopold II

Papyrus Leopold II
Papyrus Leopold II is actually the upper part of a larger document, the lower part of which (Papyrus Amherst VII), presently kept in the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, has been known since 1874. In 1935, Jean Capart found the Brussels papyrus among several souvenirs which king Leopold II had brought back from his travels in Egypt. This unique document relates of an official enquiry during the reign of Ramesses IX (c. 1100 BC) following robberies in t...he Theban royal necropolis. The text is carefully written in hieratic in four long columns of 19 lines.

Female figure with raised arms

Female figure with raised arms
Female figurines of this type, made from Nile silt, are among the oldest sculptures in Egyptian art. Their form is extremely schematised, and their heads tend to resemble that of a bird. The arms are raised beside the head with the palms of the hands turned to face inward, and the upper part of the body leans forward slightly. At the bottom of the legs is the hint of a foot. Their function in a tomb is not immediately apparent; are they bird-he...aded deities, fertility goddesses, concubines for the deceased, mourners, or even dancers?

Model adze

Model adze, from a foundation deposit, with blade and handle in copper alloy; roughly made in one piece out of sheet metal; complete but much corroded.
EA27505
Length: 4.2 centimetres...
Width: 1.45 centimetres (max)
Thickness: 0.4 centimetres (max)
Depth: 2.6 centimetres

At least six foundation deposits were discovered in Ptolemy II gateway of the Great Temenos, one at each of the four corners and one at the northwest and southwest corners of a central hall (Petrie 1886, 28-31, pl. XXV-XXVI; Weinstein 1973, 376-378, no. 158).
The content of these deposits is purely Egyptian in nature and is very similar to that of Late Period foundation deposits (see for example those discovered at Tell Nebesheh, Gemaiyeni and Tell Defenneh: Petrie 1888, 14-15, 40-42, 54-55, pl. V-VI, pl. XIX and XXI-XXIII). Naukratis foundation deposits can be further compared to several foundation deposits, mainly dated between the reigns of Philip III Arrhidaeus and Ptolemy IV, and discovered in various temple complexes of the Delta, at Coptos and in the Theban region (discussed in: Weinstein 1973, 352-363, Group I).
The foundation deposits of Naukratis provided a wide variety of models of ceremonial instruments and tools. Fourteen were made of copper alloy, ten of stone and four of iron. Three models of adze in copper alloy were discovered in the foundation deposits: one in the north-east corner, one in the south-west and one in the north-west one (Petrie 1886, 31, pl. XXV no. 3). According to Petrie’s list, this object was found at the south-west corner of the pylon.
Models of ceremonial instruments and tools are a customary feature in foundation deposits since the Middle Kingdom. They tend to be of small size and poor quality in the Ptolemaic Period, as during the Late Period (Weinstein 1973, 297, 307-308, 356).

The tomb of Djehutyhotep "Great Chief of the Hare Nome"     

This is dedicated to the very famous scene - because it is unique Egyptian art - of the transportation of a colossal statue which takes place all along the wall. Fortunately, this scene had since the very beginning attracted the attention of explorers, who had made copies of it; but, since its rediscovery by Newberry, it has suffered a lot.

Stela of Hetepneb

Stela of Hetepneb
This stela provides an excellent illustration of the development of Egyptian art during periods of weak central kingship, when local workshops produced formal monuments with hieroglyphic inscriptions without the controls of rigorous royal or temple sculptural training. The figures of Hetepneb, a local administrator, and his wife, and the cutting of the hieroglyphs are in the provincial style typical of the area north of Thebes during the 1st Intermediate Pe...riod. In the left margin outside the framing rectangle may be seen a small incised figure of a man, possibly a 'signature' of the sculptor or an addition by a later hand.
