Part of an elaborate roof or canopy - see 26.3.354-2 ca. 2051-2000 B.C. Middle Kingdom This group of relief fragments comes from the entrance passage of the tomb of Khety, the first recorded royal treasurer (overseer of what is sealed”) of Mentuhotep II. Depicted here is part of a canopy under which Khety was shown seated, probably part of a magnificent carrying chair (see fig. 1) in which he would have been ferried around his estate. In funerary contexts, these scenes could represent the tomb owner’s visits to the site on which his mortuary monument was being constructed. On a more symbolic level, they could also represent the funeral itself, and thus magically ensure the proper performance of this essential ritual.See 26.3.354-2-related..
