The Mastaba (G2196) of Iasen

 

 

 

The niche

This represents the only chapel of the monument, measuring 1.0m wide, 1.6m in depth and 1.5m in height. At the rear is a false door which includes, over the central opening, a panel surmounted by a roller. Again there are no inscriptions (see cm-59).

• The wall situated to the left (see cm-60) includes a legal text, the declaration of a testamentary decree, engraved in rather rough hieroglyphs. It mentions someone called Neferhotep and his descendants as persons in charge of the funeral cult which includes the reversion of the offerings from mastaba G5170 of the vizier Sechemnefer III, specifying that no one can modify these arrangements. It would seem that this text was destined to be longer.

The text : "The royal wab-priest, priest of Menkaure, overseer of the Ka-priests, Penmeru. He says: 'as for what concerns (my) brother of (my) funerary estate, Neferhotep, and those who will be born to him by father or mother, they are the Ka-priest of (my) funeral estate, for the invocatory offerings in the tomb of (my) funerary estate which is the necropolis of Akhet-Khufu, as they bring the reversionary offerings of my lord, the vizier Seshemnefer (III). Him (product) of 1 khat field [that I gave to him] as well as to his children. I have not empowered any persons to have authority over it, nor to any (of my) children to have authority". It seems that the following last two lines have been added as a codicil after the marriage of Penmeru to Merytites: "I have not given power to any son (of mine) nor any descendent (of mine) to have authority. He should give 5 pieces of this land to serve as the invocation offering of the king’s acquaintance, Merytites.".

Alulu beer receip

Alulu beer receipt – This records a purchase of "best" beer from a brewer, c. 2050 BC from the Sumerian city of Umma in ancient Iraq

Sumerian tablet created during the 45th year of the reign of Shulgi, the King of Ur, in 2050 BC. It is a dated and signed receipt written by a scribe called Ur-Amma for the delivery of beer, by a brewer named Alulu. The text translates as "Ur-Amma acknowledges receiving from his brewer, Alulu, 5 sila (about 4 1/2 liters) of the 'best' beer."

The tomb of Pennut

In the register underneath is found beneath the divine triad, Pennut and the "Supervisor of the granaries, Penre"; the latter is responsible for ensuring the proper implementation of the statue’s maintenance.

Under Ptah and Thoth, two women are visible, which belong to a scene located on the east wall.

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-headed deities, fertility goddesses, concubines for the deceased, mourners, or even dancers?

Two male figures, shrine, and fetishlike object were discovered by Metropolitan Museum excavators in a chamber in the enclosure wall of an elite tomb at Lisht South. The object of veneration found inside the shrine was called an imiut, "the one in the wrappings." It consists of a dummy animal (a linen form inside an animal skin), without head or hind legs, fastened by linen strips to a staff whose end rests in a jar containing now-decayed ointment. Early in Egyptian history, imiut fetishes were placed protectively around sacred spaces; later, the imiut was often depicted in relation to funerary gods, especially Osiris. Both the guardians and the imiut played an important role during rites performed over the mummy the night before the funeral.

Theban Tomb TT175

The owner and his wife (probably) are sitting on seats with high backs placed on a mat and hold the stem of a lotus in the right hand. They wear the Theban cone upon their wigs, like the young girl who presents a cup to those who are probably her parents. Between them stands a table of offerings on which are piled various commodities.
Behind the girl are three musicians, two are nude, the third wearing a transparent dress. They play the harp, a long necked lute or a double flute

KV 57

In this final scene, Horemheb, dressed as before Osiris, stands before Nefertem. This god is recognisable by the lotus blossom on his head, his is regarded as the son of Ptah (who appears opposite on the west wall). The god wears a simple kilt and a blue wig. Behind him is a large emblem, the "blood knot" of Isis, the counterpois to the Djed-pillar of Ptah

Mummy shroud

Mummy shroud



The jackal-headed Anubis, acting as a mortuary priest, holds the mummy (identified with Osiris) in front of the steep pyramid of the tomb. Behind him are two mourning women on their knees, Isis and Nephthys. In front of and behind the scene is a row of deities facing left. Deities with the heads of a baboon, a jackal, or a lioness alternate with human-headed ones. Many carry emblems on their heads such as a solar disk, a scarab, or an udjat-eye. At the far right is Nephthys in a mourning posture; she was probably once complemented by a mourning Isis on the far left who is now lost. Possibly, on the left some of the deities from the row are also lost.
